I've been doing a little bit of experimenting with binary file
editing using TSE. I've done it a lot with WordPerfect's old
ED.EXE, and an old program, PATCH.COM. Is there any way to:
1) Have the offset/address displayed, and use a goto command to
go to a specific offset/address?
2) Produce a display similar to LIST.COM in the /H or Alt-H
[HEX] mode, with the offset/address displayed on the left,
sixteen bytes displayed in the center in hex format, and sixteen
bytes displayed on the right in "binary" (pc screen font) format?
-- and then be able to edit in either hex or binary (direct,
using, e.g. Alt+nnn [numeric keypad])?
Basically I'm looking for good old PATCH.COM with the ability to
handle large files and use insert mode (not just overwrite).
If I load a file with binary and hex enabled, the binary is on
the left and the hex is on the right, opposite to what I'm used
to, and there isn't any easy way I've found to get to an explicit
address either a specific 16-byte line, or over to a specific
byte, except by tedious counting.
I'm almost certainly missing something. Is there a ready-made
macro that sets all this up?
Thanks in advance for your help.
