I'm not using it currently, but have done quite recently. It's broadly very 
similar to SDSF, although it took me months to get used to doing =I to access 
it instead of =S. And one you're there some of the line commands are different 
- SDSF's ? is S, whereas SDSF's S is B.

One feature I did like is that each entry on the screen is indexed with a 
number to the left. So instead of having to tab down to the entry you want you 
just enter that number on the command line and press enter. Very simple and 
time saving.

IOF is a SPOOL display product from Fischer International

  . Interactive Output Facility according to the site. I have a vague memory of 
it. It is not an SDSF work-alike but, back when I used it, it had some good 
features.
