I need a program to dump a file in hex so I can see what's REALLY in the file. I was unable to locate something using the AMiga file finder here, maybe my choice of keywords was not the best. Anybody know of a program here that would do this? Thanks, -J

Jay, You have such a program already, as it's part of the standard Amiga… command set. Just use the CLI command "type" with the hex option, as follows: 1> type file-name opt h This will give you a hex dump of the file. Hope this helps…. …BobR

Jay, from a cli : type <program name> opt h or …more to the point (presuming you want to go back and forth in the file) : type >hex.dump <program name> opt h and then load hex.dump into your favorite editor to peruse it. Don

Jay, it can be as easy as telling the Amiga to do it from the CLI. TYPE >PATH:FILENAME DFN:FILENAME OPT H That will put it into a file and you can then load it into any text reader. If you want to edit in HEX, look for some of the disk editors like DiskX. I forget where they are right this minute, but you can locate them easily with the FileFinder (go amg). Betty
