Sorry, just saw this.
3270 emulators.
I use IBM PCOMM today, but I have used EXTRA and I have used Host on Demand.

Which terminals support these?
I see that on MacOS and Linux both appear in the Option
I have used Japanese (930) and traditional Chinese (937) with the appropriate
EBCDIC Host Code Page.
So yes DBCS is supported on a green screen

Thank you.
Yes, codepages are another layer to handle, but I'm mainly making sure I
don't make too many design mistakes early on that make things difficult
later :-)

I'm writing a new OS for PC hardware (an exercise started during
lockdown/furlough) and I wondered about files from other systems. Is there
much in DBCS on mainframe systems these days, or is it still mainly the

There are many EBCDIC codepages.
DBCS is used by japan, China, Korea and Vietnam.
Our Japanese customers use EBCDIC codepage 930. Our Taiwanese customers use
EBCDIC codepage 937.

I'm writing a new OS for PC hardware (an exercise started during
lockdown/furlough) and I wondered about files from other systems. Is there
much in DBCS on mainframe systems these days, or is it still mainly the
same old 8-bit EBCDIC, please?
I still have to decide whether to support UTF-8 and/or
11 matches
