I'm working on a retrocomputing projecr, and I'm trying to create a
monotone archive that is (a) useful, and (b) faithfully indicates the
historical record.
Now the original code I'm restoring consists mostly EBCDIC files. To be
at all readable on most modern machines, it has been converted to ASCII.
For the most part, this works OK. A brief historical note that they
were once EBCDIC will probably satisfy the historians, if any. Further
development will be in ASCII anyway, and will be checked into a monotone
repository in the usual manner.
But there are a few small files containing lots of characters not in the
ASCII character set. These are tables used by the lexical scanner to
classify characters. It makes no sense to translate the weird
characters into ASCII. But leaving them out will violate the
development history.
Any advice?
