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. 19 20 21 Mark 22 23------------------------------------------------------------------------ 24Date: Tue, 18 Apr 1995 12:33:48 -0400 25To: "Michael W.

The approach I used was, as Vern suggested, was to 37translate the tables to reflect EBCDIC-based indices. I haven't even 38downloaded flex 2.4 yet, so I don't know what's in the current distribution. 39My patches were in the flex 2.3 distribution for a while in the MISC 40directory. If you want any more info feel free to drop me a line - I still 41have (somewhere) the patches that I created from version 2.3.6. 42 43Steve Layten 44-- 45Steven W.
