There are several mac utilities like BBEdit plug-in MIDex, Xlator etc that
can transliterate different 8 bit character sets. Are there equivalent
Windows utils?

BBEdit converts the differences between mac-, UNIX- and PC end of line
characters (CR/LF) and character sets (Mac <-> ISO 8859-1 <-> DOS-CP437 <->
7-bit Scandinavian etc) with its plug-ins Change Charset and MIDex. You can
copy additional tables to MIDex (from various Eudora Tables taBL-resources,
for example) with ResEdit and paste them into MIDex's corresponding
resource.

Xlator converts the differences between mac-, UNIX- and PC end of line
characters (CR/LF) _and_ character sets (Mac <-> ISO 8859-1 <-> DOS-CP850)
in text files (although its transliteration tables may be a little
nonstandard):
