I'd like to echo David's comments and add that if you are very familiar with ISPF that you will be *very* frustrated with the semi-ISPF simulation that you will have with THE. Leave vim or pico and go for it.

The structure imposed by ISPF is foreign to Linux, and THE is not loaded by default on most system (it is a rare system that has THE on it). Without expressing preference, take a look at emacs, vi, and pico. These are far more common that THE (particularly vi and emacs), and are portable to other Unixen as well. All three should be included in most distributions of Linux -- check your CDs. -- db David Boyes Sine Nomine Associates > -----Original Message----- > From: Linux on 390 Port [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]]On Behalf Of > Eric Bielefeld > Sent: Tuesday, February 18, 2003 12:32 PM > To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] > Subject: ISPF for Linux > > > Does anyone know if there is an ISPF product for Linux, > preferably a free one I can download?
