I haven't used EBCDIC in decades, I'm afraid. I mostly use Scientific
Linux. I have some leftover script that still seems to work:
" editing EBCDIC {{{2
augroup EBCDIC
au!
au BufReadPre */EBCDIC/* :let g:binkeep= &bin|set bin
"au BufReadPost */EBCDIC/* :%!iconv -f EBCDIC-US
au BufReadPost */EBCDIC/* :%!dd conv=ascii
au BufReadPost */EBCDIC/* :let &bin= g:binkeep|unlet g:binkeep
"au BufWritePre */EBCDIC/* :let g:binkeep= &bin|set bin|%!iconv -t
EBCDIC-US
au BufWritePre */EBCDIC/* :let g:binkeep= &bin|set bin|%!dd conv=ebcdic
au BufWritePost */EBCDIC/* :let &bin= g:binkeep|unlet g:binkeep
augroup END
So, I have an EBCDIC directory; anything in it is, presumably EBCDIC.
Still works with the vim I use. Clearly, its using system tools (iconv,
dd) which you're unlikely to have under Windows, unless cygwin happens
to provide them and you use cygwin.
So, if its of use, enjoy! If not, ignore at will.
