Hi all

I'm submitting the patches this morning for the IBM/TPF (Transaction Pr=
ocessing
Facility) port.  The port is currently only for inetd mode and effects =
the
following files:

src/Configure
src/helpers/GuessOS
src/include/alloc.h
src/include/ap_config.h
src/include/scoreboard.h
src/main/buff.c
src/main/http_log.c
src/main/http_main.c
src/main/http_protocol.c
src/main/util.c
src/main/util_md5.c
src/main/util_script.c
src/main/util_uti.c

All modifications apply to Apache-1.3.  All patches are based upon
apache_1_3_19981012131212.tar.gz.

The TPF port differs from typical UNIX implementations in that it is no=
t
compiled on the TPF platform.  It must be compiled on an EBCDIC based
mainframe.  For our testing purposes, we used an IBM S390 but it is not=
 a
requirement to use a S390.  GuessOS checks for an environment variable =
to
determine if it should be configured for TPF.

The majority of modifications are TPF specific and have been #ifdef'd t=
o
protoect other implementations.  As a general note, TPF uses the old st=
yle OS/2
select statements and a few function calls had to be type cast.  Otherw=
ise,
there's no major changes to the original Apache code.

Install and Readme.html pages will be included in a separate directory =
under
src/os/tpf.  We hope to tie them into the Apache htdocs at a later time=
.  The
standalone port will be submitted later this month or in November.


Thanks!
