[Anthill] Anthill on z/OS USS

Hi all,

I'm trying to get anthill working on z/OS 1.4 (USS).  I've installed the
latest Tomcat binary (5.0.27) and this seems to be working (tomcat-docs and
the sample application work fine).  I've installed the latest anthill binary
and this fails on bringing up the initial Anthill Configuration screen (that
prompts for the anthill path, see stack trace following).  I'm assuming this
is an ASCII/EBCDIC issue since the default file encoding on z/OS is EBCDIC.
Unfortunately, I don't seem to find Registry.java in the source distribution
of anthill.  I'm made my ~/.anthill.properties file ASCII in hopes that
would fix it, but no luck.  Have also tried to bring up Tomcat with
-Dfile.encoding=ISO-8859-1 (or UTF-8), but with this set Tomcat doesn't come
up and I don't see any errors as to why.  

If anyone has dealt with this situation or has any insight your input would
be appreciated.
