Tool "reconv" suffers from the stdio buffering problem described here:
http://www.pixelbeat.org/programming/stdio_buffering/
Basically, when piping to reconv in an interactive session, output stutters. I need to use tool "stdbuf" to help, which cost me some research time on the Internet.
reconv should have a command-line switch to help. From the page above:
"Note tail's stdout buffer would also have this problem, but tail -f calls fflush
on the stdout stream when new data is received to alleviate this
(as do tcpdump -l, grep --line-buffered and sed --unbuffered for example)."
