RE: EBCIDC to ASCII table references?

["Joe Pluta" <joepluta@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

CDRA rocks, Bruce!  This is a meta-table that groups all the various
codepages by their "encoding scheme", which is basically platform- and
representation-specific, with platform being something like PC, while
representation is double-byte, single-byte, multi-byte, whatever. 

The only thing I don't see is an encoding scheme for the various
Macintosh codepages (128x).  Any reason for that omission?
