If by "ANSI" you mean the Windows-1252/Latin-1, use
std.windows.charset.toMBSz. You can then use std.string.toString to
get a char[]. A simple program would look something like:
import std.file;
import std.windows.charset;
import std.string;
...
foreach(file; listdir("the_dir"))
write("latin_" ~ file, toString(toMBSz(cast(char[])read(file))));
and that will write out a file "latin_<filename>" for each file in the_dir.
