Record Editor is a programmer's data file editor for files where fields occupy fixed positions in a record. This program uses a record-layout definition to display the data file in a human readable form.

Record Editor can handle PC (text and binary), Unix (text and binary), and native IBM mainframe (text and binary) file formats. It is similar to Net-Cobols Cobol-Editor or Compuwares FileAid.

Here are some key features of "Record Editor":
Displays fixed format (i.e. Mainframe/Cobol data files) in a human readable format.
Support for editing both binary and text files.
Support for editing both Ascii~PC and Native Mainframe Ebcdic files on a PC.
Being written in Java it should run on most Computer systems.
Column can be resized by dragging with the cursor.
Columns can be rearranged by dragging and dropping the column.
Programs are very small (60/70 kb) making it ideal for Instalation on a central server.

What's New in This Release:
Support for editing CSV files was added.
Exporting records in CSV format is now supported.
The code has been split into 2 sections: utility record access routines and GUI editor code.
Examples of using the RecordEditors classes has been added to the package.
These examples include reading and writing Cobol files from Java, formatting files with Velocity, and editing program-supplied data.
