IEBUPDTX is a marvelous tool for integrating changes, and in the VM
world the XEDIT support of aux, control and update files is also a
good tool.

SMP/E. XEDIT. SCLM.

Simple: developers for a non-IBM platform don't have access to or
familiarity with IBM tools. That provides an argument in favor of,
e.g., sourceforge, but it is an argument that does not apply when the
software is not cross-platform.
>An interesting perception that these are "PC" tools.
I'm not concerned with such misconceptions; I'm concerned with whether
you can make a case for expending the resources for such a case.

How many of those PC users are running Hercules, want to or even know
what it is?
