[comp.sys.mac.programmer] Low Level File Editors

cyamamot@nunki.usc.edu (Cliff Yamamoto) (11/04/88)

Greetings!

	I was wondering if there exists a PD 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!!

MacSnoop 1.1.4 is what you want to edit ALL files. to insure
easy recovery of deleted files or crashed hard disks, BUY a copy of
Symantec Utilities (SUM).
