Looks like my confusion is I don't seem to actually have z/OS Explorer, but
rather the "z/OS view" of IBM Problem Determination Tools Studio. I guess they
are not the same thing.
Is z/OS Explorer, including the server/host side of the product truly no-cost?
If so I guess I could ask for it
I refrained from mentioning IND$FILE because that did not seem to be the
question. But in fact I'm a fan of IND$FILE: it's built in to z/OS, i.e. free;
it's simple to use; and it's reasonably efficient for small files. I would
never attempt to use it for very large files, but for a moderate
