| These patches and supplemental programs should allow porting to MVS or MVS/XA |
| in an EBCDIC envrionment, using SAS C V4.00C. |
| |
| Included are: |
| -rw-r--r-- 1 swl26 1573 Jul 17 14:32 README |
| -rw-rw-r-- 1 swl26 20861 Jul 17 13:41 diffs |
| -rw-rw-r-- 1 swl26 5022 Jul 17 14:00 fixit.l |
| -rw-rw-r-- 1 swl26 97644 Jul 17 13:42 initscan.mvs.c |
| -rw-rw-r-- 1 swl26 4898 Jul 17 14:08 unfixit.l |
| |
| The file "diffs" contains context diffs for changes to flex 2.3. |
| |
| The file "fixit.l" contains flex sources for a program to shorten external |
| variable and function names to 8 characters or less. This is required for the |
| "dumb" compiler linker used. |
| |
| The file "unfixit.l" reverses the changes in "fixit.l", to restore long names. |
| This is useful when trying to build diff files as created here. |
| |
| The file "initscan.mvs.c" is an already "flexed" version of scan.l, in an |
| EBCDIC environment. |
| |
| To install in an MVS environment, use patch to apply the diffs to flex 2.3, |
| then run "fixit" on all .c, .h, .l, .y, and .skel files. Move the files |
| to the MVS machine, and compile each of the .c files. (You will need a |
| "yacc" functional equivalent under MVS to expand parse.y in that |
| environment.) Link together, and the resulting flex should be ready to |
| go. To test, run the MVSflex -is8 -Ce on the scan.l, and you should get |
| back a file which is identical to initscan.mvs.c. |
| |
| Enjoy. |
