EBCDIC
An 8-bit code used on IBM mainframes instead of ASCII. It is a very strange code, with the letters not contiguous and large gaps of unassigned characters. It was designed to make it easy for mechanical conversion from 12-bit punch card code to 8-bit internal code. It is pronounced "eb'-suh-dick", "eb'-kuh-dick " or "eb'-see-dick". Java 2.0 has some built-in translations for EBCDIC such as Cp1047 for EBCDIC on the OS/390. To specify the conversion explicitly, construct an InputStreamReader on a FileInputStream. Warning! There are many national variants of EBCDIC,
