And...YES, IBM did market an ISPF editor for the PC:



"EZ-VU Editor", dated 1985, LY25-0040-0 (Program Diskette, 5.25"), Tutorial 
Diskette (LY25-0041-0), product number 6466974

"EZ-VU II Runtime Facility", Version 2.0, 1984, 1986, product no.
6476162, LY25-0042 (5.25 diskette), and LY25-0059 (3.5 diskette)



The front of the box reads "Provides a full screen editor derived from
the ISPF/PDF full screen editor available on IBM host systems."  For
DOS 2.0 or higher.  It originated from the IBM Cary Labs in North
Carolina.


I have both products in the original plastic cases along with the
doc.  I can read the 5.25 diskettes on my old PS/2 Mod 60 with a
Microsolutions Backpack Parallel Port 5.25 diskette reader.  It still
boots and runs IBM PC/DOS 7.01.  Time to copy to CD....
