Wait. Unicode, or some "ASCII variant" like, say, a French 7-bit PC code page?
Other than with a lot of inferential cleverness, there is no way to look at an "ASCII-like" file and tell what the code page is. Think about it. The whole problem is that you use X'9B' on your PC to mean ยข and a Frenchman uses it to mean something else. Your program sees an X'9B' in the file. What does it mean? Someone is going to have to tell you the original code page.
