Character Set Converter Description

This is a command line conversion tool to convert from one character set to another within text documents. It supports nearly all ISO 8859 character sets, all DOS character sets, most important Apple character sets and most of Windows character sets (non asian). It is also able to convert from or to UTF-8, UTF-16 and UTF-16BE (Big Endian), UTF-32. It automatically detects most of the supported character sets. Other supported character sets are AtariST, KOI8-R, KOI8-U, KZ-1048, NeXT, various EBCDIC, total over 60 character sets are supported. The tool is based upon www.unicode.org mapping tables and don't use Windows API for conversion. Version 2 was completely redesigned and is now a command line based tool which supports same character sets as first version but also supports unlimited file sizes because no in-memory conversion is done. Also non fully utf-8 conform (overlong sequences) source files are supported without producing "invalid character" whenever possible. There are various fields of application. Converting old mainframe computer files (i.e. EBCDIC converted or DOS text files) into todays machine (PC) readable formats, converting database dumps into multi language compatible UTF-8 format, preparing old single language websites for multi language localization are just three examples.
