iconv --from-code=ISO-8859-1 --to-code=UTF-8

or

recode ISO-8859-1..UTF-8

would be a good tool. It can be in a script:

====cut here===
#!/bin/sh
# ISO-8859-1 to UTF-8 conversion
iconv --from-code=ISO-8859-1 --to-code=UTF-8
====cut here===

or

====cut here===
#!/bin/sh
# ISO-8859-1 to UTF-8 conversion
recode ISO-8859-1..UTF-8
====cut here===



My my migration from ISO-8859-16 to UTF-8 is stopped since I can't run
latex under UTF-8 and lambda doesn't work properly (even on ascii 
files :-/ ...)
