Jonathan, You can use the TYPE command to check for the info. Type path:directory/filename OPT H This will type out the file in hexadecimal on one side of the screen and you'll see the ASCII characters on the right side. A [CTRL] [C] on keyboard will break the typing. A nice little CLI ONLY program I use and is in the libraries here is called Strings. In AmigaUser Lib:15 STRING.LZH/Bin Bytes: 6820, Count: 29, 22-May-91 Last:27-Nov-92 Title : STRINGS.LZH Keywords: ASCII FIND TEXT STRINGS This little CLI command will search through any file, binary or text and display all the ASCII text character strings in it. It's great for finding those revision numbers or text strings in programs. Its output can be redirected to a file for editing. The argument line is simple, first put in your C: directory, The command STRINGS C:STRINGS would then search itself. Usage : strings [-nxxx] [-o] [+o] filelist Chris
