BIM-EDIT/XP is a cross-platform program editor, composed of:
The BIM-EDIT/XP Workstation Component, which runs on a workstation running OS/2, Windows NT, Windows 95, or Windows 3.1.
The BIM-EDIT/XP Host Component, which includes BIM-EDIT (either the VSE or MVS version), along with special interface code.
Together these components provide a BIM-EDIT/XP user a consistent method of access and update to any file, regardless of the location of the file. BIM-EDIT/XP provides a level of productivity unattainable through editors designed for use with 3270 terminals.
BIM-EDIT/XP provides:

Commands to create, rename, and delete PDS and VSE files (see File Commands).
