There is an old program called bed which will reformat a binary file into what ever format you want, i.e. hex, octal, with various word lengths. It then opens the file with your favorite editor, allowing you to use vim, ed or something else to edit the file. Once done, it will convert the file back to the original format with your changes. Search for "bed binary editor" in google to find it. If you have trouble downloading it, let me know and I can probably make a link. -thanks -Brian On Jun 11, 10:25am, Igor Gueths wrote: } Subject: hex editors } Hi all, } can anyone recommend a good hex editor that works decently with Speakup?
