Kedit *is* Xedit for the IBM PC.
While the PE program is sort of like XEDIT in some ways
it requires the use of its own manual.
Kedit on the other hand requires that you read a one page
list of differences between K and Xedit.
Anyone who is used to Xedit on an IBM mainframe can run
Kedit without the manual.
To say that Kedit does everything that Xedit does would be
selling Kedit short.  Along with being 100 per cent compatable
it provides extra features not available on a 3278 type screen.
Anyone who uses Xedit on a regular basis on a mainframe
will find Kedit an indispensable tool on his/her pc.
It's just to bad that IBM couldn't provide these tools.
Kedit can be purchased from:
Mansfield Software Group
PO Box 532
Storrs, Ct 06268
I am not affiliated with the above in any way
other than being a satisfied customer.
