How to use this program
***********************

   With the synopsis of the `recode' call, we stress the difference
between using this program as a file filter, or recoding many files at
once.  The first parameter of any call states the recoding request, and
this deserves a section on its own.  Options are then presented, but
somewhat grouped according to the related functionalities they control.
