   Which is why I decided against it.  At the time EBCDIC based systems
   from IBM were still fairly common.

   Does IBM even still use EBCDIC on thier "mainframes"?  I've got a green 
   card somewhere, but I haven't used any of thier systems is years.

   I still recall the first IBM system we got that worked in ASCII:  a
   desktop word processor that shipped a couple of years before the
   first PC.  But I'm not sure when IBM actually started using ASCII.
