yes, the TeX ``charset'' in recode has its limitations.
I tried to use it with ISO 8859-2 charset and it didn't work.

I was considering the possiblility to make a patch to it, but the hazy
status of recode was discouradging: no new release for quite a long time,
declarations that recode will be reimplemented in other language and the
C version is no longer supported...

Perhaps one could rather write it from scratch, as a patch to (lib)iconv.

Wdyt?

Because of this, I think that one-time simple sed solution is much more
appropriate in the case we are discussing.

Have a nice day,
