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. 
 
 
                                           Mark

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.
