EBCDIC /eb's*-dik/, /eb'see`dik/, or /eb'k*-dik/ n. [abbreviation,
Extended Binary Coded Decimal Interchange Code] An alleged character set
used on IBM dinosaurs. It exists in at least six mutually incompatible
versions, all featuring such delights as non-contiguous letter sequences
and the absence of several ASCII punctuation characters fairly important
for modern computer languages (exactly which characters are absent
varies according to which version of EBCDIC you're looking at). IBM
{punched+card" rel="nofollow">adapted EBCDIC from {punched card code in the early 1960s and
promulgated it as a customer-control tactic (see connector
conspiracy), spurning the already established ASCII standard. Today,
IBM claims to be an open-systems company, but IBM's own description of
the EBCDIC variants and how to convert between them is still internally
classified top-secret, burn-before-reading. Hackers blanch at the very
_name_ of EBCDIC and consider it a manifestation of purest evil. See
also fear and loathing.
