I have a sector level editor that is shareware (I believe!). It is called "DT" (I think). I could get the author's name and address for those who are interested. It lets the user view the contents of a diskette by raw sector, or files sector by sector. The display is full screen, and the contents of a sector can be modified by moving the cursor to the byte and typing over what's there (I think there's an ASCII mode as well so that one doesn't *have* to think in hex.). A single key will then rewrite that sector to disk. Don't know if there are search functions available. roger rzh%freedom.llnl.gov@lll-lcc.llnl.gov {uunet,ames,ucbvax,..}!lll-lcc!freedom!rzh Upstairs, Over a Vacant Lot, Inc.
