Looking for a PD hex editor that lets you insert and delete data from files that are about 100K or more. Like using the standard hex on one side Ascii on the other(like what you get when you type file opt h). Seems like everything I have found edits direct to disk and wont allow inserts or deletes. Anyone know of such an animal in the public domain ? If not here is a project for someone looking for ideas of needed utilites to write(I wouldn't know where to begin). Ideally program would read file into memory and allow inserts and deletes in hex or ascii,then write file back to disk from memory with a different file name. Cut and paste would be a nice feature also to add but anything that performs the basic idea would be better than I am doing now.(moving the file to an IBM to use a PD utility that is a diskeditor with insert and delete and then moving it back to the amiga). Any help greatly appreicated. Steve Cunningham
