@ -369,18 +369,19 @@ BUILDING PCRE2 ON NATIVE Z/OS AND Z/VM
z/OS and z/VM are operating systems for mainframe computers, produced by IBM.
The character code used is EBCDIC, not ASCII or Unicode. In z/OS, UNIX APIs and
applications can be supported through UNIX System Services, and in such an
environment PCRE2 can be built in the same way as in other systems. However, in
native z/OS (without UNIX System Services) and in z/VM, special ports are
required. For details, please see this web site:
environment it should be possible to build PCRE2 in the same way as in other
systems, with the EBCDIC related configuration settings, but it is not known if
anybody has tried this.

In native z/OS (without UNIX System Services) and in z/VM, special ports are
required. For details, please see file 939 on this web site:
The site currently has ports for PCRE1 releases, but PCRE2 should follow in due
course.

You may also download PCRE1 from WWW.CBTTAPE.ORG, file 882. Everything, source
and executable, is in EBCDIC and native z/OS file formats and this is the
recommended download site.
Everything in that location, source and executable, is in EBCDIC and native
z/OS file formats. The port provides an API for LE languages such as COBOL and
for the z/OS and z/VM versions of the Rexx languages.
