I've attached two datafiles and a short Python
script that you may find useful.  the mktable.py
script generates two lookup tables.  combining
these tables with string.translate and the file-
input module should do the trick:

    # untested
    table = string.join(map(chr, ascii2latin), "")
    for line in fileinput.fileinput(inplace=1, backup=".bak"):
        sys.stdout.write(string.translate(line, table))
