I see that the configure scripts are set up to recognize zos as a platform for this library.&nbsp; I've compiled it on zos 1.4 but it doesn't seem to be functional there.&nbsp; Because the parser.c file has embedded literals for things like '<' and '>' and the source has been compiled on an ebcdic machine it fails to parse a utf8 document.
The only way I can think of to deal with this is to turn conversion of literals off in the compilation ... to see what happens.&nbsp; I'll try that today, but in the meantime I'm curious if anyone out there is using this library on zos?
Your feed back would be appreciated.

  My recollection is that a similar problem was raised once
when compiling on MVS and the solution turned out to update
the
compiler to get a compiler flag support. But it was a few
years ago and I don't remember the exact details.
