iconv --from-code=ISO-8859-1 --to-code=UTF-8 or recode ISO-8859-1..UTF-8 would be a good tool. It can be in a script: ====cut here=== #!/bin/sh # ISO-8859-1 to UTF-8 conversion iconv --from-code=ISO-8859-1 --to-code=UTF-8 ====cut here=== or ====cut here=== #!/bin/sh # ISO-8859-1 to UTF-8 conversion recode ISO-8859-1..UTF-8 ====cut here=== My my migration from ISO-8859-16 to UTF-8 is stopped since I can't run latex under UTF-8 and lambda doesn't work properly (even on ascii files :-/ ...)
