(ISO8859-1). I can think of a way to do it using UNIX
services, but I'm
hoping for a simplier method. The ASCII file is to be
transferred to a
Windows system, so each line must end in CRLF.
What about the free INFO-ZIP? Think it's one of the
samples.
ZIP the EBCDIC(and compress) transfer to WINDOZE binary
and UNZIP to
CODEPAGE of choice?
An excellent suggestion! With the proper compression
level, it should also improve total time.
I seem to have the latest (non-beta) Info zip and
unzip, but I don't see a codepage option. However, the zip
side has a "-a" option to convert from EBCDIC to ASCII (if
run on EBCDIC machines).
