See http://mindprod.com/products2.html#ENCODINGRECOGNISER

This is a manual assist tool to help you guess the encoding.

Encodings are not embedded in any way in files. You just have to know.

ARGHHH!

See http://mindprod.com/jgloss/encoding.html
for how to use native2ascii to interconvert encodings.  

The XML world likes UTF-8.  Using anything else is just asking for
trouble.
