Hi!

Could anyone point to a binary file editor that can do search and
replace op's? I want to touch up some text files that I down loaded
and it is getting tedious.

I think there was a program in Simtel that converts a CP/M file to
Unix... but I often need something MUCH MORE general purpose!

(I HAVE been playing with ZAP, but it doesn't do replace. If it does,
I know not how... someone can tell me how to do even "edit" on
this thing... Poor documentation!)

Thank you.

P.S. Oh, I need something more general than CPM2UNIX because I am
doing the opposite: from LF to CR or NULL. And, TAB to SPC. And,
and, and, other silly things like that ...
