Convert from utf8 to koi8?  Isn't that the opposite of what you want?
The default encoding for Fedora is usually UTF-8.  Usually, you'd
convert foreign files to the local one, so you can edit them without
hassles.

> Is there a way to change encoding for every file in the folder?

Using the iconv command in a script would appear to be the way.


You've caught me! Filling like an idiot! Am I?
$ whoami
IDIOT!
Damn! It's just not my day today!
'iconv -f koi8 -t utf8 kant6112.out' does the task.
Thanks, Tim!
