For example the above would be: 0000:0000 23 21 2F 62 69 6E 2F 62 : 61 73 68 0A 66 6F 72 20 #!/bin/bash.for (which will probably get wrapped in this email). Even better would be something like CP/M's DFX (Disk Fix) or Norton Utilities of old which would permit hex editing through a "curses" style interface. I miss those incredibly handy low-level tools! Does such a thing exist for linux? \\/
