So I cannot hammer a UTF-8 file into ASCII
owner@localhost:~> iconv -f ASCII -t UTF-8 ttt.ascii.txt -o ttt.utf-8.txt
owner@localhost:~> file ttt.utf-8.txt
ttt.utf-8.txt: ASCII text

Randall,
Were I in the same situation I'd use iconv on each ASCII file. Read `man
iconv'.
Example: To convert ASCII to UTF-8 in Linux, you can use the iconv
command.
The syntax is: iconv -f ASCII -t UTF-8 input_file.txt -o output_file.txt.
HTH,
Rich
