XYplorer is a file manager for Windows that offers a multi-tabbed interface, powerful file search abilities, flexible file preview capability, and the ability to automate frequently recurring file management tasks. I've already suggested that he 'externalizes' the CP, but if he doesn't, is there a opinion on which code-page might be more useful for 'Joe Average'.įor what it's worth, I suggested that the EBCDIC auto-detect is based on long strings of the ASCII character, the EBCDIC space.Windows Explorer seems to suit your needs when you first start using it, but after a while you begin to wonder if there's a better alternative to having all of those open folder windows all over your desktop. I suggested the LRECL=80, he himself went for CP 500.

The conversion is hard-coded to IBM EBCDIC International (codepage 500)Īffects Text Preview, Hover Box, Mouse Down Blow Up, Quick File View, I asked for it (it's kind of useful to have a quick look at XMIT files containing source, README, or '$INDEX' like members) and he has hard-coded some defaults: OK, advertising out of the way, Donald Lessau the developer has added a tweak to the 'Mouse-Down Blow-Up' feature (click and hold on the icon of a file, and you'll see its contents) to auto-convert EBCDIC files. Both can be used on all of your computers. Like Tom Brennan's Vista tn3270, you can try it free for 30 days, the 'Standard License Pro' costs USD 39.95, never expires, and gives free upgrades (usually a few per week(!)) for a year, the 'Lifetime License Pro' costs USD 79.95, never expires, and gives free upgrades forever. XYplorer - EBCDIC to ASCII translation - CP500 or what?įor those who don't know, XYplorer is a replacement for Windows' Explorer, with rather a lot more functionality, and that's a huge understatement.
