That should be worth an SR.

Does it deal with UNIX files, which seems to bee the OP's need?

I believe that Browse deals with a large file by building an index and
accessing requested lines using NOTE and POINT.  Do NOTE and
POINT work on UNIX files?  They should, since BPAM supports
reading UNIX files.  How does HLASM deal with nested COPY
instructions if not by using NOTE and POINT?

or MVS-OE?)
