Hi

Is there some support for this file conversion in c#?
Thanks

Not at all.

I should emphasise, however, that the code is virtually untested by me,
and can't be tested in any significant way by me as I have no access to
a machine with real EBCDIC support. In that sense, it's a somewhat
bizarre project.

However, I have had emails from people who say it works. If anyone
finds any bugs, *please* let me know...

Damn. I wish I'd known that *before* writing my own encoding :(

No problem.

To quote somebody I know "every line of code you write
makes you a better person" :-)
