[comp.sys.apple] Need info on block editor...

jvvaler@zodiac.ads.com (John Van Valer) (01/05/88)

I need to edit some information on a disk with a block editor.  I have
the block and byte addresses of the information but nothing else.  I
normally use track/sector editors (those in Copy II+ and Locksmith) to
do such work on files, but the disk I am working on is not 'normal.'

Does anyone out there know of a disk block editor, or anything else,
that would allow me to edit a specific block and byte?  I do not know
the track/sector of my info, just the block.  I am using a II+.

Thanks in advance for any help,

John Van Valer

  I have COPYII PLUS versio0n 8 and it appears to have a block editor
you have a choice to toggle between sectors or blocks, for instance,
i needed to change byte $3a in block $216 and had no problem doing it.
My knowlege is fairly limited , so if this is not a block editor, I
would like to know.  Hope you solve your problem.
