I know I'm not being helpful here, but several questions come to mind, like, which EBCDIC? But for my own interest, I'm wondering how much of a hit on speed one would take to do the conversion in metatalk, as opposed to using an external library written in C? As a suggestion, one thing I like to do when moving conversion tables from one language to another is write a short program in the language the table exists in to output the source code for the table in the target language. That way, you don't have to worry about muscle-eyeball coordination error. -- Joel Rees, programmer, Systems Group Altech Corporation (Alpsgiken), Osaka, Japan http://www.alpsgiken.co.jp ---------------------- "When software is patentable, anything is patentable."
