I had some txt files with a ccsid of 819. Some with 37. Some with 1252.
I used ftp in ascii to transfer them down. Only the 1252 were human
readable.
I did a CPY to another directory and gave them a ccsid of 1252. Now they
are all human readable.

Since these are created by vendor software (IBM Lotus Domino) any chance I
can just get ftp to work as I want it to and just make them all human
readable without having to CPY them first?
