I agree;  it's far from ready for prime time.  OTOH, I'd appreciate
any critique of my techniques, use of #ifdef, choice of files

Posix-conformant shell and utilities.  They're quite proud of being one
of the first platforms to qualify for Unix trademark.  However, I
needed to use a port of gmake because OS/390's make failed as below.
Attempting to treat README.txt as a make description file.  ??!!

address@hidden:131$
address@hidden:131$ make os390
cd WWW/Library/unix; make LYFLAGS="-DUSE_DIRENT -DUNIX  -DDIRED_SUPPORT 
-DLONG_LIST"
make: ../../README.txt: line 1: Error -- FSUM8232 Expecting macro or rule defn, 
found neither
FSUM8226 make: Error code 255
