You may want ONE nice program to do that.  But isn't it enough for you
to do it with 'find' and 'nkf', although it may be slow?

Prepare a (C-)shell script like: 

htmlconvert
----------------------------
#!/bin/csh -f

set tmp = /tmp/htmlconvert.$$

nkf -e $1 > $tmp
mv $tmp $1
----------------------------

and put it in your bin directory, then invoke this:

    find . -name '*.html' -exec htmlconvert {} \;


I think 'nkf' can't make output file with the same name as input
file.  If so, we should use 'nkf' via script or try to write multiple
commands between "-exec" and "\;".  I'm not sure how to do with the
latter way.


Regards,
Smiley
