std::string OEToASCII(const char *ptr)

Convert the string ptr, typically the output of the function OECreateIUPACName post-processed by a language translation function, from the default ISO-8859-1 encoding, which includes 8-bit European characters, into a reduced 7-bit ASCII representation by stripping the accents off of the 8-bit characters.
