I couldn't download puzzle.txt so cannot be 100% sure. But the other proposed solution did NOT seem to work when I tried it on a small test file I made. I think this will get rid of all special characters, and adjust to your locale:
Code:
tr -cd '[:print:]\n' < puzzle.txt

TREE-PPUZZLE(1) 					      General Commands Manual						   TREE-PPUZZLE(1)

NAME
tree-ppuzzle - Reconstruction of phylogenetic trees by maximum likelihood (parallelized version) SYNOPSIS
tree-ppuzzle DESCRIPTION
This manual page documents briefly the tree-ppuzzle command. This manual page was written for the Debian GNU/Linux distribution because the original program does not have a manual page. TREE-PPUZZLE is the new name for the program previously known as PPUZZLE! tree-puzzle is an interactive console program that implements a fast tree search algorithm, quartet puzzling, that allows analysis of large data sets and automatically assigns estimations of support to each internal branch. TREE-PPUZZLE also computes pairwise maximum likelihood distances as well as branch lengths for user specified trees. Branch lengths can also be calculated under the clock-assumption. In addi- tion, TREE-PPUZZLE offers a novel method, likelihood mapping, to investigate the support of a hypothesized internal branch without comput- ing an overall tree and to visualize the phylogenetic content of a sequence alignment. This program is the paralelized version of tree-puzzle. OPTIONS
There are no options. For usage please look at /usr/share/doc/tree-puzzle/tree-puzzle.pdf. SEE ALSO
phylip(1), treetool(1). tree-puzzle(1). This manual page was written by Dr. Guenter Bechly <gbechly@debian.org>, for the Debian GNU/Linux system (but may be used by others). April 20, 2001 TREE-PPUZZLE(1)
