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. -- Shmuel (Seymour J.)

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. -- gil ---------------------------------------------------------------------- For IBM-MAIN subscribe / signoff / archive access instructions, send email to [email protected] with the message: INFO IBM-MAIN ---------------------------------------------------------------------- For IBM-MAIN subscribe / signoff / archive access instructions, send email to [email protected] with the message: INFO IBM-MAIN
