SPF EDIT was originally[1] part of Structured Programming Facility
(SPF) and System Productivity Facility (SPF), but IBM split the
successor into ISPF and ISPF/PDF, and included EDIT in PDF. IBM then
merged PDF back into ISPF. So SPF EDIT, ISPF EDIT and PDF EDIT all
refer to the same editor, at different stages of its evolution, none
compatible with TSO EDIT or with CMS EDIT[2].
Is that confusing enough yet?
[1] Does anyone have the dates for the various releases, or at
least the ones involved in the above transitions?
[2] Which nobody uses these days, XEDIT being greatly superior.
