RE: Dba tools on NT

I've liked and used PFE or Programmer's File Editor for a long time now. http://www.lancs.ac.uk/people/cpaap/pfe/

I have pulled in, read and edited "empty" export files up to many MB in size, and have used it to read in entire directories of files to clean up, inspect, and the like. I have done files upwards of 180mb and while it takes a bit of time, it manages them.

It doesn't often choke on exe files, or "unknown" files, though sometimes you'll get the "lines truncated"... But on those kinds of things, I'm just trying to determine what the heck the file is. Often the character strings will give clues to what they might be.

I can set up the thing to use courier-6 or so, and read 150 column reports on the screen without having to scroll, set the screen up dark blue with yellow characters, and it's not bad on the eyes.

It's got that "\n" for return, etc... Hey, it works. I've played with vim and textpad, but never took them as much.
