(Of course you can support more users on Wylbur than on TSO ISPF --
it takes 5 times as long to get your work done using something as
primitive as Wylbur, so the machine doesn't get loaded up with all
those pesky jobs.) (Don't bother flaming me for this, I'm immune.
Wylbur was a really advanced concept -- in 1965.)
Wylbur is in some respects still superior to TSO EDIT and ISPF/PDF
EDIT. That's true even for the old free versions, and it's even more
true for the newer versions, e.g., NIH and SuperWylbur. When I had
access to SuperWylbur I used it for functionality, not for performance
or because of local policy.
I don't recall the name of the (I think a Swedish developed program)
that was similar to Wylbur, but there is a large user of that still
here in Chicago. They are really stuck in the 60's they love the
product . They have some trouble try to recruit sysprogs to work on the
beast. I ran from the interview room (not literally ) .. now I remember
its called MUSIC . They have so much code (of their own) in it they
really have a "fun" time with new DASD. Chuckle.
But I believe they have a full screen editor as well.
