If you have already exported as a textfile, let !Convtext (by Paul
Sprangers) do a scripted search-and-replace on it. You could extend
your script to deal with Ro characters such as N-dash which are one
"Ascii" position different in Dos.

(Paul is currently doing a major rewrite on it. The version 3.03 that
downloads from this link has a flaw in its * wildcard, which worked in
version 2.x, but which you probably won't need for this job.)
