PhilI have encountered this issue.  IBM did really bad job in creating the 
EBCDIC, especially as far as pattern matching is concerned.  When they adapted 
EBCDIC to various languages they moved these symbols around like a whirpool.  
For example square bracket occupies 3 different possitions in 3 major 
variations of EBCDIC, 037 - North America, 285 - United Kingdom and 1047 - the 
C compiler default.  One cannot make it up, it is reality.I need your guidance. 
 I think that I remember that one may make PCRE use special character tables at 
will.  If this is correct, I may instruct the users to use their version of 
EBCDIC while still allow the C compiler to use its default.  Do you think it 
will work, or should I just instruct the users to forgo the default and compile 
under their own specific variation (in tat case I cannot distribute binaries 
and not all users have access to the C compiler... don't ask)If using special 
character tables is an option, please guide me to where is that discussed.Thank
