Is there a way to convert with calibre to 7-bit US ASCII -- you know, the 128 characters (no high-order bits) used by simple MS-DOS programs, so that fancy apostrophes and quotation marks and em-dashes will end up as typewriter-style characters and accented characters will be replaced with their unaccented counterparts?

Thanks!
