Which platform? ALL. That means Windows, Linux and Mac.
We can omit OS/2 or VMS or DG-UX or QNX or etc.
Which codepages? All. Let's say all supported by z/OS when using FTP or
iconv.
FTP GUI clients? Yet another XMIT viewer? Both do not satisfy all the
needs.
Last but not least - nowadays it is harder and harder to manage
permissions for installation of some homegrown piece of software. It is
quite feasible to convince security guys to get permission for
installation of IBM product, downloadable from IBM site, but try the
same with XMIT manager downloadable from... "the page does no longer
exists, but you know, there is some freeware page, called cbttape...".
Yes, it is much harder. BTDT.

for which desktop target platforms?
But it is continuous reinventing the wheel.
IMHO it is up to IBM to assign few folks for few weeks to prepare such
tools. It need not to be officially supported.
IBM invest a lot of effort in z/OSMF and other "modernization", but such
simple things like PDS to directory are still left.

But if it's Java, it might be nonpartisan.
