I mentioned jedit because it's coded in Java and I believe z/OS java
supports X1 for remote displays. I've never tried it.
Interestingly, MacOS supports UTF-8 filenames but prohibits ISO-8859
names which are not valid UTF-8. I don't know how this complies with
UNIX branding:
1668 $ touch $( printf '\300' )
touch: ?: Illegal byte sequence
1669 $
Windows is handicapped by case-insensitivity even though NTFS is
case-insensitive. Cygwin provides instructions to modify Registry to
disable case-insensitivity. It sorta works. Cygwin can create files in
NTFS with names differing only in case. Explorer shows them all.
But when I click on one, it's unpredictable which opens.
An example of jedit running on one OS and displaying via X11 on
another. (Neither is z/OS):
On my desktop, I can see: Latin, русский, español, français,
Ελληνικά, לטינית. Do others see likewise on their desktops?
What does anyone using a 327x see? Could they do as well with
any model 327x?
