Have you tried tweaking svn_ctype.h to use the ctype functions from APR? Does that fix your problem? If it helps we could either discard the custom ctype implementation (I don't really see a need for svn to have its own ctype implementation), or at least use the apr versions #ifdef'd for your platform. Have you looked at the old ebcdic branch? http://svn.apache.org/viewvc/subversion/branches/ebcdic/?r=876004 You might want to try to get a diff of the work done on that branch relative to its origin, to see what people did back then to make Subversion deal with ebcdic. (Note that all I know about EBCDIC is what I read on wikipedia just a minute ago -- but it sounds like you're in for a lot of fun...) Stefan
