Bob Fillmore 992-2832 writes | Can anyone point me at a Unix utility which will convert a flat | ASCII file exported out of WordPerfect and FTP'd to Unix? | | In particular, I want it to convert french character codes | from code page 863 to ISO Latin-1. If you're running anything that resembles an System V Release 4.x system, the "iconv" command will perform conversions among the code sets supported on your system for you. I use "iconv -f PC850 -t 88591 | tr -d \015" to convert from WP textfiles to ISO 8859-1 files.
