Akua (what else?) has an encode command, that seems to require you to know
that name of the encoding (makes sense, I guess), and appears to claim to do
any of them. I've never tried it out, though. The Satimage osax in both X
and pre-historic has an extremely useful 'convert Mac to Windows' command,
and vice versa. (You have to work around a bug when converting empty ""
paragraphs.) Someone supplied a URL (maybe in this thread?) for a TEC
converter that looks fantastic. I was on my other computer at the time so I
can't find it just at the moment. Not much help there, sorry. When I get
back there, I'll find it and send it on.
