... to download an IBM fixtest, I got junk:
user@OS/390.25.00: cat AA51501.HIF7P02 | od -tx1 | head
0000000000 EF EF 85 AB 85 8D EB 85 85 77 C9 77 2C C9 B8 4F
... but with *two* successive EBCDIC-to-ASCII translations, success:
user@OS/390.25.00: cat AA51501.HIF7P02 | e2a | e2a | od -tx1 | head
0000000000 4E 4E C1 D7 C1 D9 4D C1 C1 F5 F1 F5 F0 F1 5D 40
+ + A P A R ( A A 5 1 5 0 1 )
WTF!? Surely this isn't working as designed.
I hate EBCDIC!
