[clug] An EBCDIC lex ?

[Paul Matthews]

  G'Day All,

At work we a mainframe, not one of these new fancy mainframes with Linux 
running on it, but the old fashioned TSO, JCL and COBOL type of mainframes.

Recently we gained access to a C compiler (and there was much rejoicing).

Now was going to use lex/flex to help with a little domain specific 
language. So my cunning plan was to use flex on Linux (i686) to produce 
the C code. Then cut and paste it to the mainframe. However flex 
produces lots of tables and other assumptions, that only work on an 
ASCII platform.

Has anyone seen a flex like tool that can be told to produce EBCDIC?
