[comp.sys.atari.st] xxed

I've come across a bug in xxed which was recently posted to
comp.sys.binaries.st.  When a file is saved (using 'save' or
'save as'), the dummy null byte at the end of the file is stripped
off before saving and not put back on.  If you continue to edit
the copy in memory, it is possible that problems could occur when
editing near the end of the file.  To be safe, close the file after
saving and then reopen it if you want to continue editing.  I have
rewritten the code to fix the problem but prefer to wait a decent period
for reports of any other bugs before posting a second version with bugs 
fixed.            jim...
