Long ago I wrote a fudge.c that takes octal addresses (gleaned from `od -s') and then does the above interactively and safely. I still have it around somwhere, in case anyone is interested. I wrote it to change the rogue monsters to faculty names, and to cheat on the die rolls. It was kind of fun to watch people surprised by killer hobgoblins. ucbvax!garnet!weemba Matthew P Wiener/Brahms Gang/Berkeley CA 94720

It is a file editor that allows you to search and edit any file in both ASCII and hex. Yes, we originally wrote it to do some file patching. For details, contact: Sandy Webb SSC, Inc. P.O.

Both do the same thing, which >is allowing you to edit binary files. The one we use here is called bed. It is a pre/post-process filter for your favorite editor. It allows you to use ASCII representation if desired (the file is primarily text, for example) and to specify record length and word size if using hex. It was posted to the net a couple of years ago; I made some local clean-ups. I could post/e-mail if there is demand. --------------- "I read the news today, oh boy!" --John Lennon =-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-= | DCF, Inc. | UUCP: ...ncar!noao!nud!anasaz!dcfinc!chad | | 14623 North 49th Place | Ma Bell: (602) 953-1392 | | Scottsdale, AZ 85254 | Loran: N-33deg37min20sec W-111deg58min26sec | =-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-= | Disclaimer: These ARE the opinions of my employer! | =-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=
