  When working in a shared systems environment it is quite often necessary to view or modify the content and format of files. This is especially true when moving source code, JCL or control files between a mainframe and the PC. The ability to quickly convert the format and modify the content between ASCII/Text and EBCDIC/80-byte files is a requirement. The ability to view the content of a file in a hexadecimal display format can also be very helpful.
