  I've always found LIST incredibly obscure to use. Mr Buerg has a
strange mind (as well as a strange name).

 RS> What hex editor are you using ?

  Hedit. It runs under Windows quite nicely. I've also got Norton
Editor, but it's a monster to use, won't run under windows, and is
about as intuitive as an electric gorilla. I'd rather use the 
gorilla.

 RS> Nortons Diskedit can do it fine, tho its a tad non intuitive in

  I've tried that, but it never seems to work. I really don't
understand why people think Norton stuff is good. It's absolutely
awful! I've got an old PCTools editor that works okay, but I didn't
expect that Dieter would have it.
