XmitManager v3

Xmit Manager is a Windows based tool that allows for the manipulation of IBM Mainframe created Xmit format files. With Xmit Manager you can open Xmit files and view or extract the data within them, whether that is binary or text based. Xmit files with Partitioned datasets or Sequential datasets content can be dealt with similarly through the Graphical Interface.

Version 3 has given XmitManager a face lift. Some bugs were corrected (including the truncated end of file for some members extracted). Most importantly, the FTP remote support has been removed. This caused a lot of problems for some users so I removed it and focused the product back on decoding xmit files rather being a 'jack of all trades'. You can still download v2.1 with this functionality if you wish, but I wouldn't recommend it.

Ftp2Jes v1.1

Ftp2Jes is a Windows based application that provides a GUI around the FTP protocol that supports simple access to JES2 on IBM OS390 and zOS based operating systems. This FTP support allows Batch jobs to be submitted to JES2 and the output to be retrieved through an FTP session between the IBM host and your PC. Ftp2Jes enhances this functionality to provide a useful tool for using this functionality.

Ftp2Jes is not in any way trying to replace logging onto a system and working with TSO and SDSF, but it does provide an alternative in certain situations.
