I actually spent some time with IDM over the last few months, getting them
access to an 3000 and explaining the special needs of MPE.  We went back and
forth quite a bit and we got it to the point where the listing is very nice
but they still insist on showing a date for each file.  I tried to get them
to forget about the (bogus) date and instead show the file code and the real
type.  Instead they show the type as whatever appears on the right side of a
dot in the file name.  At least I got them to show the proper EOF and not
the LIMIT.

I did have some issues getting Posix files, but I ran out of time.  For MPE
files it now works quite well.

Subject: [HP3000-L] MPE support in UltraEdit 14.20

FYI
 
There's been some discussion last month about MPE support in Ultraedit. IDM
has just released Ultraedit 14.20 which has better support for HP3000/MPE.
There's a new "HP3000 MPE" server type on the FTP Accounts dialog box. The
filelist display order for ftp connections is much better.
 
There are still a few issues with MPE support. I reported them to IDM but it
was too late to include them in the 14.20 release. They may make it in a
future version. The issues are (that I know of):
 
If a file is opened or if someone is logged into a group/directory at the
time you get the filelist, the file/directory will be prefixed with an
asterisk "*". The object will then appear at the top of the list. For
example, if you are looking at an account and there is a job/session
currently running in the PUB group, the group will show as "*PUB". This
means you will not be able to switch to it using a double-click.
 
Ultraedit should work fine for files in the MPE namespace. It does not work
well with objects in the Posix namespace even if you use absolute
(/ACCT/PUB/MyFileIsHere) or relative (./MyFileIsHere) notation.
