You can have my copy of Tritus SPF (TSPF) when they pry it out of my cold dead 
fingers. EBCDIC, Hex. Really close compatibility to ISPF DM and ISPF/PDF EDIT. 
The regex syntax is somewhat klunky and minimal, but still quite useful.

Has anybody looked at BRIEF? THE?

Subject: Re: Top 8 Reasons for using Python instead of REXX for z/OS

Not the same thing, but I pretty much stopped accepting updates for software I 
like and trust a few years ago.  I'd gone out looking for some text editor that 
would display in hex when needed, and hit upon Notepad++, which apparently is 
pretty popular.  Months later, when an update was offered, I accepted without 
even thinking about it; why not?

Because with the update they discontinued the hex feature, that's why.  I found 
out too late, and couldn't figure out a way to regress.  I still use Notepad++ 
from time to time, but it still rankles.  And whenever I'm offered an update 
nowadays, if it's an app I care about I always decline.  Who knows what they'll 
do to it?

Speaking of that, can anyone suggest a good editor that handles hex display on 
demand?  I've never tried ISPF-PC; maybe I should.

....My Windows html/php/etc editor "Dreamweaver" from 2004 still works on Win 
10, but suddenly locked up at startup last week.  I assumed it was due to quiet 
updates to Win 10 and that old unsupported code would never work again. I was 
staring blankly into space saying, Oh no... oh no...

Then I figured out it was just stuck waiting for Samba on a Raspberry Pi that 
had died overnight.  Whew!
