Release Doug Nadel-written ISPF utilities to Github as open source

During Doug Nadel’s long and storied career at IBM ISPF, he wrote many useful little utilities. He also had posted some of them on his personal website.

When he retired, he removed some of them for ethical reasons, as he felt that because he had written them while working for IBM, he felt that the IP was IBM's and not his. This includes useful programs such as ISPCLEAR, which was bifurcated for ISPF and non-ISPF invocations.

It will a great benefit to the ISPF community if these useful programs could be released as open source, allowing the group known as the “ISPF Cabal” to modernize and improve them.

    The ISPF team discussed this and we do not have access to Doug's utilities.
