There is a function called UprString for uppercasing a string and optionally
dropping diacritical marks.  Is there one for just dropping diacritical marks?

I have a string representing a name which I would like to send to a network
which doesn't support diacritical marks.  I plan to use the Transliterate
function to convert the name into Roman text, but now I need to make sure
any accents are dropped as well.

Thanks,
