You could do something like this after extracting the archive: #/bin/bash mkdir ../ascii SAVEIFS=$IFS IFS=$(echo -en "\n\b"); for file in $(find .); do dd if=$file of=../ascii/$file conv=ascii done FS=$SAVEIFS
...and then you'll have another directory containing EBCDIC-to-ASCII converted copied of all the files in the archive, with any directory hierarchies within the archive maintained. ~ Chris On Thu, Jun 3, 2010 at 11:39 AM, McKown, John <john.mck...@healthmarkets.com > wrote: > > -----Original Message----- > > From: Linux on 390 Port [mailto:linux-...@vm.marist.edu] On > > Behalf Of Richard Troth > > Sent: Thursday, June 03, 2010 10:29 AM > > To: LINUX-390@VM.MARIST.EDU > > Subject: Re: tar extract - code conversion. > > > > PAX exists for Linux, but I have never used it. > > > > You may get some of what you want by using 'iconv'.
