A long, long time ago, in a galaxy far, far away, I built a printer
spooler which could talk to an IBM mainframe to do output
on the printers attached thereto.  In the process, I created
an ASCII/EBCDIC translation table which was invertable and corresponded
essentially directly with the major print-trains (TN being most interesting).
I could go prospecting in the dusty bits if folks are interested...
