non-ascii character

[drtconway]

Hi Whisper,

I notice the help text of whisper contains non-ascii characters.

$ whisper 2>&1 | grep 'read group' | od -c -t x1

This causes some confusion for some meta-tools we use for wrapping tools for our workflow system. I presume, the intended character is 96 (0x60) and a helpful editor somewhere has substituted some kind of smart-quote.

Thanks,
Tom.
