You appear to be using the original IBM PC character set
in recode-3.2.4.  You  should instead be using the superset
called the "code page 850" character set.  You'll find the
chart for this character set in the back of IBM's manual
for DOS 3.3 or higher.

Code page 850 includes support for Danish, Norwegian, and
Portuguese, which is lacking in the original PC character set.

Your use of the old PC character set shows up in coverting
Latin1 Portuguese text to Macintosh.  Both of these support
Portuguese, but because you go via IBM PC, the text is clobbered!

Let me know if any of this requires further explanation.
