Initial reaction - <<shudder>>

I suspect they mean in EBCDIC code, not ASCII. Which means skipping the
binary parts.....sounds nasty, not knowing the internals of form files.

Or do they want to see it all interpreted out , as in showing fields and
their attributes spelled out in English?

Subject: [HP3000-L] Vform help

Sitting here with 2 IBM people.

They want the VFORM file in 'readable' format.  Listing the forms file is a
start, but is there any other way to get the data out ?

We have tried looking at both the forms file and the vfast file in
editor/quad.

Ideas ?

TIA....
