how do I convert a file (or output to stdont) with an unknown 16 encoding
into plain
ol' ASCII aka 8 BIT ?

Example of files contents

 0 255 254
 2  60   0
 4  72   0
 6  84   0
 8  77   0
10  76   0
12  62   0

or ..

0000000 377 376   <  \0   H  \0   T  \0   M  \0   L  \0   >  \0  \n  \0
0000020      \0      \0   <  \0   B  \0   O  \0   D  \0   Y  \0   >  \0
0000040  \n
