I have a package called FM, File Modify, by a company called Caltech CCO. It says copyright 1985, and I have no idea how I got it. It's probably pirated. Also try Lulay Software, 503-342-8298. Their Lulay Backdoor is advertised as a decent hex editor. But, what I *really* need is a binary/hex editor with CUT AND PASTE! What a concept: they don't exist. Not even delete. "Oh, that's too dangerous" the critics cry, you could completely mung anything you're working on. Of course, that's a power tool! Now I have to write C code to delete a couple stray bites out of a data file, etc. It really grabs my gizzard. -- O----------------------------------------------------------------------> | Cliff Joslyn, Cybernetician at Large | Systems Science, SUNY Binghamton, vu0112@bingvaxu.cc.binghamton.edu V All the world is biscuit shaped. . .

You folks might try WordPerfect Corp's Program Editor, which is part of their Library 2.0 group of utilities. While PE is meant as a straight text editor, you can turn "interpret" off and load anything, including program files. I don't see any reason why you couldn't then use the normal cut/delete/paste features of the editor. It will also show the file in hex mode by turning on `reveal,' though that will only appear int he bottom half of the screen. -- Frank Burleigh USENET: ...rutgers!iuvax!silver!burleigh BITNET: BURLEIGH@IUBACS.BITNET Department of Sociology, Indiana University, Bloomington, Indiana 47405

In addition to being a very good PC menu/communication/utility front-end, it allows editing of both ASCII and binary files. I have known these people for many years, and the quality of their products is excellent; prices are good too!

A few days ago, someone posted HEXEDI.ARC (or HEXEDT.ARC) to IBMSYS on
CompuServe. It is claimed to be a cut and paste hex editor.
