Ah, Tritus... I should have remembered that. If one Googles for it there's several hits but only on iffy sites that look as if they want people to pay to download something, eg https://pserritirou.tk/family/tritus-spf.php I also stumbled across "Capable Worthy Text Editor" http://cwtexteditor.sourceforge.net/index.html which I don't think I've heard of before - open source - apparently works under both Windows & Linux/Unix etc via Xâ‹…Window (X11). It looks like it has an editor and a files-list/dir / ispf 3.4 utility, but I saw no sign of any REXX or dialog support. There's also uni-SPF etc as described at: http://www.wrkgrp.com/index.html but I see the website page-footer copyright date is 2013. I downloaded some manuals but their production dates are 2002. Goodness knows if the products still exist. -- Jeremy Nicoll - my opinions are my own. ---------------------------------------------------------------------- For IBM-MAIN subscribe / signoff / archive access instructions, send email to lists...@listserv.ua.edu with the message: INFO IBM-MAIN
