ebcdic encoding

I'm working with ebcdic files. Is there a way I can work with these directly in TextPad, such as adding ebcdic encoding as an option? Thanks! - Jim

You might be able to get a font file to handle EBCDIC, but the problem remains that TextPad wants to see either CR-LF (MS) or LF (UNIX) for a new line with ASCII/ANSI encoding and that just does not line up with the EBCDIC character set.
Character charts can be found here

As a workaround, you can get a freeware conversion program here:
