| Subject: Re[2]: Flex on an AS400 |
| |
| I have no problem at all with being a contact for advice |
| on porting Flex to EBCDIC. The code was put on an AS400, so |
| filing the message under /MISC/AS400 is more appropriate. |
| The port was an interesting, very educational experience. |
| Thanks again. |

| I came in late on this discussion - I don't follow comp.compilers very |
| closely these days because my job has shifted somewhat. |
| |
| I ported (quite some time ago) flex 2.3.6 to an IBM 3090 under MVS, using |
| the SAS C compiler. The approach I used was, as Vern suggested, was to |
| translate the tables to reflect EBCDIC-based indices. I haven't even |
| downloaded flex 2.4 yet, so I don't know what's in the current distribution. |
| My patches were in the flex 2.3 distribution for a while in the MISC |
| directory. If you want any more info feel free to drop me a line - I still |
| have (somewhere) the patches that I created from version 2.3.6. |
