Others have already showed that they are available.

If you want to use something else, you can use something like recode -
a very powerful piece of software. 

apt-get install recode

"pinfo recode" to read the manual and tutorial

>From the tutorial:

recode pc          to filter IBM-PC code and CR-LF (default) to Latin-1
recode pc/         to filter IBM-PC code to Latin-1

To recode from Latin-1 to DOS you could do

recode l1..pc
