#
# These procedures assist in use of the ASCII and EBCDIC character sets,
# regardless of the native character set of the host:
#
# Ascii128() Returns a 128-byte string of ASCII characters in
# numerical order. Ascii128() should be used in
# preference to &ascii for applications which might
# run on an EBCDIC host.
#
# Ascii256() Returns a 256-byte string representing the 256-
# character ASCII character set. On an EBCDIC host,
# the order of the second 128 characters is essentially
# arbitrary.
#
# Ebcdic() Returns a 256-byte string of EBCDIC characters in
# numerical order.
#
# AsciiChar(i) Returns the character whose ASCII representation is i.
#
# AsciiOrd(c) Returns the position of the character c in the ASCII
# collating sequence.
#
# EbcdicChar(i) Returns the character whose EBCDIC representation is i.
#
# EbcdicOrd(c) Returns the position of the character c in the EBCDIC
# collating sequence.
#
# MapEtoA(s) Maps a string of EBCDIC characters to the equivalent
# ASCII string, according to a plausible mapping.
#
# MapAtoE(s) Maps a string of ASCII characters to the equivalent
# EBCDIC string, according to a plausible mapping.
#
# Control(c) Returns the "control character" associated with the
# character c. On an EBCDIC host, with $ representing
# an EBCDIC character with no 7-bit ASCII equivalent,
# Control("$") may not be identical to "\^$", as
# translated by ICONT (and neither result is particularly
# meaningful).

#
# Notes:
#
# There is no universally accepted mapping between ASCII and EBCDIC.
# See the SHARE Inc. publication "ASCII and EBCDIC Character Set and
# Code Issues in Systems Application Architecture" for more information
# than you would ever want to have on this subject.
#
# The mapping of the first 128 characters defined below by Ascii128()
# is the most commonly accepted mapping, even though it probably
# is not exactly like the mapping used by your favorite PC to mainframe
# file transfer utility. The mapping of the second 128 characters
# is quite arbitrary, except that where an alternate translation of
# ASCII char(n) is popular, this translation is assigned to
# Ascii256()[n+129].
#
# The behavior of all functions in this package is controlled solely
# by the string literals in the _Eascii() procedure. Therefore you
# may modify these strings to taste, and still obtain consistent
# results, provided that each character appears exactly once in the
# result of _Eascii().
#
# Yes, it's really true that the EBCDIC "\n" (NL, char(16r15)) is not
# the same as "\l" (LF, char(16r25)). How can that be? "Don't blame
# me, man, I didn't do it."
