A couple notes on the latter:
o If you have formed the habit of using alternate characters in
your local codepage (such as '!' for '|'), you will need to
convert back to appropriate glyphs in the local codepage.
You can perhaps discover these by such as:
echo '!' | iconv -f IBM-1047 -t IBM-273 # or
echo '!' | iconv -f IBM-1047 -t IBM-273 | od -x
This leaves STDOUT in IBM-1047. It can be converted back by
augmenting the preface command:
iconv -t IBM-1047 -f IBM-273 | /bin/sh | iconv -f IBM-1047 -t IBM-273
This yet leaves STDERR in IBM-1047. A yet more elaborate preface
command could convert both STDOUT and STDERR separately. Left as
an exercise for the student.
