You are probably after iconv.

To see ANSI on a utf8 termainl. "cat ansifile.ans | iconv -f cp437 -t utf8"

The other way around is "cat file.txt | iconv -f utf8 -t cp437"

And I know mystic uses the pipe symbol, so dont recall if my instructions above will get messed up - so its cat filename pipe iconv ...
