samba - Jul 1998 - Anybody want EBCDIC Support for Samba 1.9.18?

We've ported samba 1.9.18p1 to OS/390 Unix (nee MVS), and it
seems to be very much in demand among the mainframe folks.  We'd
like to integrate our changes back into the mainline development
stream.  Our changes consist entirely of patches to ensure that
the code works on an EBCDIC system, as well as a new facility
that allows for ASCII/EBCDIC data conversion on the fly for files
identified as "text" so that data can be shared between clients
and people that log directly onto the server.

Any takers?

I for one would like to offer my support of the intergration.
While I have only worked on 3 or 4 flavors of UNIX for Mainframes,
this should be a very low maintance portion of the code, and
will provide a great deal of service when needed.

          These are my views, on anyone else they would look silly.
