17       contain  Latin-1  and/or  Unicode-encoded (\udddd notation) characters.
18       native2ascii converts files which  contain  other  character  encodings
19       into files containing Latin-1 and/or Unicode-encoded charaters.

21       If  outputfile  is  omitted, standard output is used for output. If, in
22       addition, inputfile is omitted, standard input is used for input.

33          table of supported encodings in the Supported Encodings @
