We have bed (binary editor) locally, but I was wondering if a more advanced editor exists? One that could use hexadecimal numbers more easily and one that displays BOTH the hexadecimal value (8-bit) and the text equivalent? Like some of the PC disk sector viewers, but for Unix files. If anyone knows if a program like this exists or where some sources has archived then I would love to hear from you.... We have the 4 June 1985 version of bed.

What I got is a binary un-editor (in the style of the un-cola), that converts from/to binary but lets you use your own editor (vi, emacs, etc.) to manipulate the human-readable version. Somewhat inconveniently, OBJED relies on sundry library routines of ILIB, a library I was not going to post "before its time". But since you asked for it... I am posting today to alt.sources, the ILIB Toolkit, in nine parts. The source resides in three parallel directories: i contains the C source and the makefile to create ilib.a, iex contains standalone C programs (tools) that depend on ilib, iman contains "man pages" describing ilib and the tools, in TeX. The target environment of the package is SysV or BSD Unix. OBJED is one of the thirtyfive tools in iex. -- Istvan Mohos ...uunet!pyrdc!pyrnj!hhb!istvan RACAL-REDAC/HHB 1000 Wyckoff Ave. Mahwah NJ 07430 201-848-8000 ======================================================================
