Translate execs

Freeware: Rexx - Translate execs

Translate REXX execs are REXX execs that translate binary and character strings and show them in both ASCII and EBCDIC. They are not terribly useful. I wrote the first one, BIT2CHAR, because the Rock Painter had a binary string on his home page and I wanted to figure it out using the computer.

The ASCII and EBCDIC translate tables used in Char2bit, Bit2Char, IMGINFO and possibly other REXX execs on this web page were based on information obtained from Andr'e PIRARD's Guidelines to use 8-bit character codes.

The two translate execs:

Char2Bit - Translates a character string into a hex and binary string.
It will also show the hex and binary string for the alternative character schemes: ASCII and EBCDIC.
Bit2Char - Translates a binary string into a Character and Hex string.
It will also show the Character and hex string for the alternative character schemes: ASCII and EBCDIC.
