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 :

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. 

Ciao,

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.
