Greetings Mac users!
This is probably a mundane question but I was wondering if there exists
a low level file editor for the Mac (aka "debug" in the MsDos world). It
doesn't have to be a disassembler, just some sort of editor that allows one to
change, at the byte (hexadecimal) level, *ALL* the "Kind"s of files. Meaning
that it's not just limited to editing "TeachText" files, but "Application",
"Control Panel", "Stuffit 1.5", etc as well.
Also is there a "Peter Norton" utility in the Mac world? It would
probably include the above editor, but also allow one to recover accidently
deleted folders and files from the hard disk.
Thanks in advance for any information!!

Symantec Utilities for the Macintosh (SUM) seems to provide the services
you are looking for. It provides a low level editor, Symantec Tools, and also
includes a couple of programs for recovering files. I've never used the
recovering files functions, but I've seen good reviews for them.
Disclaimer: I of course have no connection to Symantec.
