	EBCDIC (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-20)
		EBCDIC was devised in 1963 - 1964 timeframe by IBM and announced with the release of the IBM System/360 line of mainframe computer s at the apex of IBM’s mainframe monopoly.
		EBCDIC was the predecessor to ASCII, which was devised in 1968.
		EBCDIC is an 8 bit encoding, vs. the 7 bit encoding of ASCII.

	ISO/IEC 8859 - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		ISO 8859 sought to remedy this problem by utilizing the eighth bit in an 8-bit byte in order to allow positions for another 128 characters.
		The ISO 8859 standard is designed for reliable information exchange, not typography; the standard omits symbols needed for high-quality typography, such as optional ligatures, curly quotation marks, dashes, etc. As a result, high-quality typesetting systems often use proprietary or idiosyncratic extensions on top of the ASCII and ISO 8859 standards, or use Unicode instead.
		ISO 8859 was favored throughout the 1990s, having the advantages of being well-established and more easily implemented in software: the equation of one byte to one character is simple and adequate for most single-language applications, and there are no combining characters or variant forms.

		ISO 8859 The ISO 8859-$n are a collection of character code sets from the International Organization for Standardization (ISO) each of which adds characters to the ASCII set that are typically found in European languages many of which are based on the Roman, or Latin, alphabet.
		EBCDIC The Extended Binary Coded Decimal Interchange Code refers to a large collection of slightly different single and multi byte coded character sets that are different from ASCII or ISO 8859-1 and typically run on host computers.
		One big difference between ASCII based character sets and EBCDIC ones are the relative positions of upper and lower case letters and the letters compared to the digits.

	Re: EBCDIC & uuencode/uudecode
		It would be very simple for an local gateway to handle local 7bit <--> ISO 8859/n conversion if the only local need were the 7bit character set (which is implicit in the suggestion that the 7bit sets be part of the RFC).
		With regard to text mail traffic, if the network uses a character set that is a superset (ISO 8859 family) of the local implementation (ISO 646 family), then everything possible using the local implementation is possible across the network.
		EBCDIC is more restrictive than the ISO 8859 family and so across the network the text mail traffic from EBCDIC sites can easily be encoded into either ISO 8859/n or US ASCII both of which need to be supported in the RFC.

	Perl and EBCDIC? - The Perl Journal, Winter 1997
		In contrast, EBCDIC does not have the alphabet in a stepwise continuous sequence - there are gaps - but both the upper and lower case alphabets are numerically sortable just like ASCII.
		EBCDIC is of special interest to me because I work on an IBM OS/390 computer running OpenEdition, which internally uses EBCDIC.(The OpenEdition environment has been described as Unix on a mainframe; MVS OpenEdition comes with a POSIX shell, an ANSI C/C++ library and compilers, Berkeley style sockets, a hierarchical file system, and a web server.
		The gaps in EBCDIC are a result of the way the code was laid out to fit on punch cards: groups of 9, 9, and 8 characters separated by 16 or 17 characters.

		Among IBM EBCDIC character code sets there are 13 characters that are often mapped to different integer values.
		Perl on EBCDIC machines has been ported to take "\c@" to chr(0) and "\cA" to chr(1) as well, but the thirty three characters that result depend on which code page you are using.
		The property of lower case before uppercase letters in EBCDIC is even carried to the Latin 1 EBCDIC pages such as 0037 and 1047.

	Character Set List
		EBCDIC is an encoding, or rather a large family of related encodings, used by IBM.
		EBCDIC is 8-bit, but unlike most 8-bit encodings it does not have a lower half similar to ASCII and an upper half customized for local needs.
		EBCDIC is legendary for its complexity, its multitude of incompatible dialects, and the way almost every implementation cheerfully ignores most relevant rules.

		This is clearly violated by the braces, the backslash and the four banking symbols in the lower right quarter that are also present in the standard OCR-A font (but these latter four got very strange positions!).
		Here the defined symbols from EBCDIC were left unchanged (except the dollar sign), and the symbols were filled in order from the position of the space.
		In this case the additional symbols not in EBCDIC were just added consecutively in the empty places in the code table (again skipping the position after the space).

		Such data is correctly interpreted when treated as any of the ISO 8859 family (because the first half of every standard eight bit code is ASCII), or as UTF-8 (because the ASCII characters are encoded as single byte values in UTF-8).
		Data from different sources may be encoded in one of the 8859 eight bit character sets, one of the Windows vendor-specific character sets, or one of the legacy Far East multi-byte codes.
