I am curious about the viability of an EBCDIC based .enc file so
I took the Encode/iso8859-1.enc and came up with one that I
might call Encode/cp1047.enc. Would this be the correct form/format?
If so I can prepare this and a cp37.enc and a posix-bc.enc file
as well:
# Encoding file: cp1047, single-byte

I didn't read up on the format, but I would gess that this maps from
EBCDIC position to Unicode in this way: take the EBCDIC code point and
treat it as an index into an array of four-character Unicode code points.
In which case, your table looks rather unlikely, since the last line
should then start "0030003100320033" -- that is, F0 .. F9 should map to
U+0030 .. U+0039, the digits.
I don't remember the code points for letters, but I'm fairly sure the
digits fall in the range F0 .. F9 in all flavours of EBDIC. You have
U+0031 at position 90.
Cheers,
Philip
