Doubtful. If ESR is right about its "at least six mutually incompatible
versions... and the absence of several ASCII punctuation characters... (exactly
which characters are absent varies according to which version of EBCDIC you're
looking at)", you'd pretty much *have to* roll your own conversion function.
The "six mutually incompatible versions" thing strikes me as the most
problematic, but since the forum member who's asking for this seems to be
working with files from a single source, maybe it's safe to assume that all the
relevant files use the same version of EBCDIC?
