If memory serves:

        EBCDIC = Extended Binary Coded Decimal Interchange Code

IBM mainframes (360, 370, etc) are the only machines I've seen that used it.

DOes anyone have a computer which uses the EBCDIC character set, rather
than ASCII (did I get the acronym right? what does it stand for anyway)?

Just curious.
