XMIT manager is just a convenient way to be able to read those TSO XMIT files on another platform. So assuming you would ever want to use the files again (as opposed to just being able to look at them on a PC), TSO XMIT is the way to go. As far as documenting a special format, there is nothing special about EBCDIC data, the problem here is a difference in platforms.
