EBCDIC to ASCII converter

[MisterX]

Depends on what OS are you using...

For Linux and moft you can use a shell binary. Im sure there's more than one
linux console or command line tools for both linux and PC - google it. For
Mac, you can use Rinaldi's ReplaceCharSet XFCN
(http://perso.wanadoo.fr/frederic.rinaldi/) but you'll have to build an
ascii char table and one for EBCDIC.

First time I hear of such a thing since HC 1.0! ;)
