tcs.zip tcs is the source to an ANSI C program which converts between a variety
of international encoding formats. Of interest, it converts between the various
Japanese encodings, UNICODE 1.0 and UTF-8 (a Variable length, ascii-clean
version of Unicode used under Plan-9 and supported in Java).
tcs_w95.zip is the main program compiled (by Peter de Vries) to run under
Windows NT & 95.

UTF8 support should become standard in Perl soon. The text/plain
filter could be modified to support translation into UTF8. I am
unsure if there will be a standard set of charset->UTF8 converters.
