'Restore Diacritic' is a specialized find-replace engine for text-files.
The primary use is to restore diacritics in 7-bit pure ASCII texts. Many
older electronic texts use pure 7-bit ASCII without accented letters. This
program will attempt to restore the correct diacritics by using the
conversion dictionaries. The process of restoring diacritics is sometimes
ambiguous. 'Restore Diacritic' will not address this problem. Another use
of this program is performing a large number of the find-replace operations
on entire words (typically 1 000 - 100 0000 rules). For instance you can
use it to translate certain words in the text-file from one language to
another.

Ready-made modules for restoring diacritics in Polish and German are
available. Other modules are in preparation. You can also set-up your own
conversion modules.
