It's EBCDIC, but beware: the line breaks are x'25'  rather than
the perplexing x'15' that z/OS expects.

Transfer the .zip in binary; unzip with "jar".  The files will be extracted
to z/OS UNIX directory which is friendly to extension names.

HLASM ought to learn to deal with extensions.  Most cross-assemblers
can do so.

The first 4 commands in README.md merely say "Copy".  This is pretty
vague.

The x'25' linebreaks lead me to suspect the developers built and tested
from an ASCII tree with a cross-assembler then converted to EBCDIC
using a non-z tool that was unaware of the idiosyncratic z/OS line separator
convention.
