Small C code to convert german text to old ASCII-DE encoding


I had a task to convert a UTF-8 or ISO-8859-2 encoding german text (names, addresses,...) into a 7bit ISO-646-DE (ASCII-DE) encoding. Since this encoding almost is non-existent, it was a bit difficult to find on Google search any example of such a conversion. I decided to be that sucker to write it :) I know this is not really the best code ever, but does its job.
