    Problem Text
    These tests give 'UNRESOLVED' in our EBCDIC-system because of the following
    problem:

    The character array to_asc[UCHAR_MAX] is of length 255 but it should be 256.

    The value of 'tilde' in EBCDIC is 0xff and so the 1st character of string
    c_files is overwritten by character '='. That's the reason for the returnvalue
    from pax.


    cpio4.c:

    public unsigned char from_asc[128] = { /* ASCII to native chars */
    0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0,
    '\b', '\t', '\n', '\v', '\f', '\r', 0, 0,
    0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0,
    0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0,
    ' ', '!', '"', '#', '$', '%', '&', '\'',
    '(', ')', '*', '+', ',', '-', '.', '/',
    '0', '1', '2', '3', '4', '5', '6', '7',
    '8', '9', ':', ';', '<', '=', '>', '?',

    'X', 'Y', 'Z', '[', '\\', ']', '^', '_',
    '`', 'a', 'b', 'c', 'd', 'e', 'f', 'g',
    'h', 'i', 'j', 'k', 'l', 'm', 'n', 'o',
    'p', 'q', 'r', 's', 't', 'u', 'v', 'w',
    'x', 'y', 'z', '{', '|', '}', '~', 0,
    };
    public unsigned char to_asc[UCHAR_MAX]; /* native chars to ASCII */

    public char *c_files = "cpio-reg cpio-link cpio-linked";



    In cpio.c:

    prepare_tests() ...

    public char *c_files = "cpio-reg cpio-link cpio-linked";
    /* Initialise native-chars-to-ASCII conversion table */
    for (i = 1; i < 128; i++)
    if (from_asc[i] != 0)
    to_asc[from_asc[i]] = i;
