I'm sending this response to ->swl26%CAS.BITNET@CORNELLC.cit.cornell.edu. - -Great -- we can talk. - ->How extensive are the diffs? If they're fairly short then yes, please ->send them. If they're pretty involved then probably not, as I'm not aware ->of many MVS flex users ... - -I've built a context diff file which is ~850 lines. - -Summary of major changes necessary: - - o a new initscan.c -- because MVS is ebcdic, the initial scanner had - to be changed. I built a scanner from scan.l using -Ce, then - hand-manipulated the yy_ec table to fit EBCDIC instead of ASCII - chars. (This is not included in the diff file above.) - - o changes in main and flexdef.h to change how files are handled. (No - dynamic file names, etc.) - - o Some lines had to be shortened to 80 bytes. This mostly impacted - your RCSID lines, which with the full path name were too long. - - o SASC and the linker don't allow externals to be longer than 8 chars. - I thus wrote a Q&D program to shorten all externals. (This would be - a separate file 'fixit.l', which is not included in the diffs.) - - o There are several places where there are tests for 'isascii' (which I - deleted conditionally, using #ifdefs), and tests for 'A' <= x <= 'Z' - which I changed to 'isupper'. - -Many of the changes I've incorporated without impacting other systems. -Others are with 'ifdefs'. Still others (the short external names and new -initscan) are 'isolable' as separate files which would have to be -included with a distribution. - -Obviously, you are not going to want to (even if you can :-) ) worry about -testing new versions in the MVS environment. Likewise, I don't have the -time or resources to provide much support. (I'm not sure my management -would allow any :-( ) - -With all of the above feel free to say "Thanks, but no thanks." If you -want to see the diffs anyway, I will certainly mail them. - -Thanks for your time and efforts. - -Steve Layten -Chemical Abstracts Service, PO Box 3012, Columbus, OH 43210, +1 614 421-3600 -INET: swl26%cas.BITNET@CUNYVM.CUNY.Edu |
