At what level is this translation performed. For example,
suppose an assembler program with source in the IBM-1047
code page, and assembled and linked in the IBM-1047 locale
does a BPX1RED then a CLI '\' on the data in the buffer.
Will this match an IBM-1047 '\' or an IBM-273 '\'?
What about a C program? Etc.?
I hate EBCDIC! Is Unicode a solution?
