I use a PD Strings program along with CygnusEd Professional. CED Pro isn't public domain, but it's a bargain (it has the exact features I need, plus a zillion more, plus it is uncrashable, plus an ARexx port). So, if you're in the market for a good (commercial) text editor, but want to do some binary editing every once in a while, I'd recommend CygnusEd Pro and use the fact that it'll read a binary file (and let you enter chars in decimal). -Tom -- Tom Limoncelli -- tlimonce@drunivac.Bitnet -- limonce@pilot.njin.net Drew University -- Box 1060, Madison, NJ -- 201-408-5389 Standard Disclaimer: I am not the mouth-piece of Drew University "DEC's All-In-1 isn't completely useless, but it's a nice attempt."
