Check out the `dd' command.. particularly the `conv' suboption:
conv= value[, value ...]
Where value is one of the symbols from the following list.
ascii, oldascii
The same as the unblock value except that characters
are translated from EBCDIC to ASCII before the records
are converted. (These values imply unblock if the
operand cbs is also specified.) There are two conver-
sion maps for ASCII. The value ascii specifies the rec-
ommended one which is compatible with System V. The
value oldascii specifies the one used in historic AT&T
and pre-4.3BSD-reno systems.
