The built-in EBCDIC/ASCII translate table can be replaced with a custom table. For example, you can load the supplied file mac.tbl which translates between the OEM (IBM PC) and Macintosh character sets
After mac.tbl is loaded, note that the EDIT > Translate menu now displays “Translate from MAC” and “Translate to MAC” to reflect the new translation table’s name. Similarly, in display mode “128”, the status line will read “MAC” instead of “EBCDIC".
The built-in ANSI/OEM and EBCDIC/ASCII translation tables are supplied in the files ansi.tbl and ebcdic.tbl. As described in the next section, you can edit these tables in case you need to fine-tune the translation. You can then load the modified table.
