      However, if you *really* want a program to make a
file you can copy-and-paste, you could try looking for
source for uuencode and uudecode.
??? And why would he need the source when the executables
are part of base z/OS?

     Well, that should make things easier.

I'm looking for a free or very inexpensive utility ***available in source code form*** that would convert an arbitrary mainframe file to a character

According to Gil, you've got a free one and, since it should already be on your client's machine, you shouldn't need it in source. It should make smaller files than the UNPK suggestion I had made. Of course, you'll have to research whether you can use it for "arbitrary mainframe" files or whether you'll have to copy them to an HFS first. (But all of that should be in the Fine Manuals.) You'll almost certainly have to unload PDSes, but that's easy enough with XMIT.
