Hi Nuno,

Its not a binary editor, its an Oracle block editor. i am sure there are some on this list who have enough internals knowledge to write one but it would involve a huge effort to replicate BBED.

But yes i agree totally with Mladen and yourself, the password should not have been given out on a public forum.

Thanks Nuno,

kind regards

Pete
