Significantly, NED *uses* 3270s where THE and the SPF-like editors *simulate* 3270 interaction.
I remember NED from my days at Texas A&M with UTS. Loved it! NED, like most aspects of UTS, was "real Unix" and also was "real mainframe", quite like Linux on zSeries. NED (when I knew it) did not have an ISPF flavor, nor an XEDIT flavor, beyond the common 3270 factor. It made great use of the 3270 but was still every bit a Unix application. If you had and allergy to Unix, you didn't like it. If you had an allergy to 3270, you didn't like it. (But UTS also runs 'vi', EMACS, probably Pico, any typical Unix byte-at-a-time editor.) -- R; ---------------------------------------------------------------------- For LINUX-390 subscribe / signoff / archive access instructions, send email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with the message: INFO LINUX-390 or visit http://www.marist.edu/htbin/wlvindex?LINUX-390
