EBCDIC!!! Aaaarrrrgggghhhhhh!!!!!
Back in the early 1970s, some of our online data equipment had to be able to
talk EBCDIC instead of ASCII in order to play nice with IBM systems. I never
did learn EBCDIC; I just hoped and prayed it would go away sooner or later.
It did. Sooner. :-)

Bob won. It's now called "ASCII" after the initials of the
Committee.
