From Kris Buelens, IBM Belgium

PURPOSE: These GOODIES are either enhancements to existing XEDIT commands or additional functions.
Version 1.1 provides the package in ZIP as well as VMARC file, as requested by some users. In addition, some of the tools have been enhanced here and there, look at the introdution comments inside the execs.

Version 1.5 refreshes LOOK and QUERY, minor changes (but LOOK works a bit better if searching lots of MDISKS)

Version 1.4 refreshes quite some of the tools, with minor modifications. More recent changes worth to mention:

• LOOK: Avoid problems when files have #-chars in their name
• RING: Support change of FNAME/FTYPE/FMODE with a command, as well as files with mixed case fileid
• ATCURSOR: Allow to extract words from the current line

Note: I do use quite some of these function daily (so they surely work as expected), just a few are used seldom and may fail, or seem awkward or ...
