     12 Subject: Re[2]: Flex on an AS400
     13 
     14               I have no problem at all with being a contact for advice
     15           on porting Flex to EBCDIC.  The code was put on an AS400, so
     16           filing the message under /MISC/AS400 is more appropriate.
     17           The port was an interesting, very educational experience.
     18           Thanks again.

     32 I came in late on this discussion - I don't follow comp.compilers very
     33 closely these days because my job has shifted somewhat.
     34 
     35 I ported (quite some time ago) flex 2.3.6 to an IBM 3090 under MVS, using
     36 the SAS C compiler. The approach I used was, as Vern suggested, was to
     37 translate the tables to reflect EBCDIC-based indices. I haven't even
     38 downloaded flex 2.4 yet, so I don't know what's in the current distribution.
     39 My patches were in the flex 2.3 distribution for a while in the MISC
     40 directory. If you want any more info feel free to drop me a line - I still
     41 have (somewhere) the patches that I created from version 2.3.6.
