==History== XEDIT was written by IBM employee Xavier de Lamberterie and was first released in 1980.<ref>{{cite journal |first=Melinda |last=Varian |title=VM and the VM community, past present, and future |journal=SHARE 89 Sessions 9059-9061 |year=1997 |url=http://web.me.com/melinda.varian/Site/Melinda_Varians_Home_Page_files/25paper.pdf |access-date=September 20, 2011 }}</ref> Its predecessor was '''EDIT SP''' (SP is an initialism for ''System Product'' used by [[IBM]]). Other key influences were '''EDIT''', the older editor for CMS, and '''EDGAR''', an IBM Program Product editor for CMS. XEDIT supported many of the EDGAR commands, '''SOS''' (Screen Output Simulation) being a major one. XEDIT also supported [[EXEC 2]], the predecessor of Rexx.
