You could try beav (Binary Editor And Viewer). Beav is a emacs like binary file editor that allows viewing data in many formats; hex, decimal, octal, binary, ascii, and ebcdic. There is a command that will compare the data in two windows and position the cursor at the first difference found. I posted the source to comp.sources.unix two months ago but it has not been released by the moderator. I posted an executable to comp.binaries.ibm.pc and it was archived at SIMTEL20. I posted an earlier version to alt.sources. -- >>>>>>>>>>>>>>>> Peter Reilley ..... pvr@wang.com <<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<< Well, that about says it.
