I've set up a call-in line where you can vote for your favorite codepage
from your cell phone.
Just "text" the number 1-900-QCODEPG with your vote:
"88591" - ISO-8859-1
"1252" - Cp1252
"1047" - Cp1047
"037" - Cp037
"8838" - UTF-8
...etc
We'll have to wait for the votes to know the results, but
in the meantime you might want to look at Cp1047 (aka IBM-1047; Latin
Ebcdic US) for
taming those nasty brackets and braces :-)

So... I am asking your opinions ...
I ran into some conversion annoyances when I sent data to/from *ix and
Windows to MVS. I think the problems were with square brackets. Using
037 for MVS didn't work, but I noticed that FTP didn't have a problem. So,
I switched to CCSID 924, which is what FTP used on MVS.
