Hi list, Wilbur source is not that "trashed".
After uploading it to USS I can access the code in a perfectly readable way using ISPF Edit : EDIT /u/sys56/WYLORV/Mainframe/GG.PUB/WINGS.COMMANDS Columns 00001 00 Command ===> Scroll ===> C ****** ***************************** Top of Data ************************** 000001 ; 000002 ; Wings - ALLOCATE command 000003 ; 000004 xproc () begin 000005 000006 declare number x.pathno 000007 declare string open_str 000008 declare string open_opt 000009 declare string wing_path 000010 declare string msg xmsg pmsg 000011 declare string rc cr 000012 declare boolean debug 000013 cr = SHEX('0D') ; CR CHARACTER 000014 000015 000016 ;***debug: set true 000017 debug=false I use ISPF 3.17 to access the directory. Edit the member on the displayed list. Just that you must specify ASCII on the Edit Entry panel: Data Encoding 1 1. ASCII 2. UTF-8 Furthermore you can use CUT and PASTE to copy it to a regular PDS.

I did much the same, and noticed that in the listing files there seems to have been some post processing done to (among other things) generate text boxes For example, in Mainframe\GS.MIL\MILTEN.SOURCE\MSVC there is a line starting with *box which in the matching listing Assemblies\Milten\MIL#MSVC.txt generates a box made mostly of X'FE' for the horizontal lines, 9F for the vertical, and the four corners are BF, DC, BE, and BB. This is neither ASCII nor EBCDIC in any dialect I recognize, but all the box characters have been uniquely translated, so that may well also be true for any unusual characters in the actual source lines. I doubt that the long-standing claim that the Wylbur source is trashed is completely invented, but things certainly *look* salvageable at first glance.
