Yes, it's available from Simtel20 as: Filename Type Bytes CRC Directory PD1:<MSDOS.FILUTL> FM.ARC BINARY 10160 1735H FM (for File Modify) is a little utility which allows you to easily edit files at the individual byte level. It is especially useful in situations where one might use DEBUG to modify a byte in order to patch a program, to change the wording of messages in your programs which bother you (its search capabilities are useful for this) or to change color attributes in a program. FM.ARC has been submitted to comp.binaries.ibm.pc so if you don't have FTP access to Simtel20 just wait a week or so and it will appear there. --Keith Petersen Maintainer of the CP/M & MSDOS archives at wsmr-simtel20.army.mil [26.0.0.74] DDN: w8sdz@wsmr-simtel20.army.mil Uucp: {ames,decwrl,harvard,rutgers,ucbvax,uunet}!wsmr-simtel20.army.mil!w8sdz
