---------------------------------

Hi Rory and Henrik,

I was not aware of Henrik's MVS improvements for 2.0. Indeed they are exactly 
what I need! (Hence the overlap is total ;-) Actually, Henrik's implementation 
is much more complete since his understanding of the MVS file system mess is 
much more complete than mine. I more or less hacked the MVS FTP server behavior.

Henrik surely agrees that the 1.4.1 MVS parser is totally broken.

The only point where the solution that Henrik and Steve developed seems a bit 
too complicated is that they define SEVERAL parsers for the several listing 
formats of the MVS server, and a strategy to choose one of those. In contrast, 
I provide only ONE parser class that detects and parses ALL possible MVS 
listings. In other words: It is arguable whether the N listing formats should 
be parsed by N parser classes, or if the listing formats produced by the ONE 
server system MVS should be parsed by ONE parser class. But I'm not the 
net.commons expert, and I'd be happy to replace my home-grown MVS solution with 
the net.commons 2.0.

When will 2.0 be released? I cannot find a roadmap or anything. On the web 
site, everything is 1.4.1.

> Hi there,
> the "MVSFTPEntryParser" who parses the output of an FTP LIST of an MVS FTP 
> server, is a sad view... it's totally broken. I developed a custom 
> FTPEntryParser, which I can hook into the FtpClient (thank you for the highly 
> customizable design). I'd like to donate it to COMMONS NET... who can I turn 
> to?
