This is the Debian GNU/Linux prepackaged version of GNU recode, a program
that converts files between character sets and usages. GNU recode was
written by Franois Pinard <pinard@iro.umontreal.ca>.

This package was first put together by Klee Dienes <klee@mit.edu>.

It is currently maintained by Santiago Vila <sanvila@ctv.es>,
from sources obtained from:

ftp://ftp.iro.umontreal.ca/pub/recode/recode-3.5.tar.gz

The changes were fairly minimal, and consisted solely of adding
various debian/* files to the distribution.
