Re: Odd directory in /SYSTEM/var/
Make sure your terminal emulator is in code page IBM-1047 (C language and UNIX) and not IBM-037 (historic OS/360, MVS, z/OS). Or set you locale properly. You might try the following command in your UNIX shell: export LC_ALL=En_US.IBM-037 Then do the ls and see if it looks better. If it does, put that export into your ~/.profile to make it your default locale. Note that this might end causing you problems with some languages which are not locale sensitive, but use the normal C locale by default.

Historically IBM has had multiple EBCDIC code pages. The ones that I'm
most familiar with have []{} at AD, BD, C0 and D0, but others have
them at different code points. Which is *the* historic EBCDIC?

There isn't really any code page that implements historic EBCDIC.
The SHARE ASCII EBCDIC Task Force proposed a code page 037-2 that was
a mix of 037 and 500, and IBM responded with 1047, which fixes some
things and breaks others.
The two main roots for these code pages are the assignment of the
square brackets on the TN and T11 print chains/trains, and those on
the early 3270 terminals and printers like the 3277.
To the extent that square brackets are definitive, 1047 is the closest
to historic there is.
