Wow, thanks so very much. This is just perfect. Installs right from 
debian archives.

My next question was going to be how to do this for Darwin i.e. Mac OS X 
file names, which I cannot read no matter what I do. Convmv manual seems 
to say that Apple has it so screwed up that it is not possible to read 
much less convert file names.


This is what I have experienced, alas.

Anyone else worried about this? I have a ton of great stuff that is 
locked up in this unreadable filename problem.

Thanks Edward, it was right under my nose: I really should get better at 
using the package searching tools. This has prompted me to figure out 
how I should have searched for this with apt-cache.
