The .NET CLR has an EBCDIC text encoder/decoder in the base class library. I had to research this once when it was asked of me how easy it was to injest some COBOL-built files in C#. We ultimately didn't need to use that as the COBOL side had switched to ASCII at some point and its owners had forgot, but I suppose it is good to know that even modern .NET code can speak EBCDIC if need be.
