Re: Binary Editor

Hi Peter,

Thanks for the tip. But not *exactly* what I was after.... naff DOS interface, only uses 640K of conventional memory, has trouble opening a 5Mb datafile, etc etc etc.

(Seriously: thanks for taking the time to reply, but I seem to need something a little more capable).

Regards
