How compatible were they? Did they support X?

Only a tiny percentage of my XEDIT code dealt with file names, so that wouldn't 
bother me.

De gustibus non disputandum est; every editor has things that it doesn't do, 
and the importance of those things is highly subjective. Both ISPF/PDF EDIT and 
XEDIT have features missing from, e.g., vi. The only Linux editor that comes 
close is THE, and I doubt that's what you meant.

(Elsewhere they mention Linux/390.)

We had their suite: uni-SPF, uni-XEDIT and uni-Rexx.  Most of my
ported XEDIT macros didn't work: too dependent on "fn ft fm"
I gave up easily.  It was a sop to our True Blue personnel.  There
are better editors on UNIX.  NFS made my MVS data accessible
to them.
