Convert EBCDIC "hello" to ASCII then encode.

I'd think that this has to lead to the question "Why?"

That is, why would anyone want to base64 encode a text string? It's _already_ a text string, so doesn't need to be base64 encoded (which takes non-text, binary data and puts it into an intermediate text format in order to avoid issues such as ASCII/EBCDIC translations where not wanted.)

If ASCII/EBCDIC conversion _is_ desired, then don't send it as base64 encoded.

Am I missing something?
