This file describes the program ASCEdit which loads in any file of size 16k or less to edit one byte at a time, then re-saves as "OUTPUT".
Instructions
Select from the EUG menu or, at the BASIC prompt, type CHAIN"U.ASCEDIT"
Supply the program with a filename, and that will be loaded in.
The file will be displayed in a *DUMP style, which can then be moved around using the cursor keys. Typing at the cursor overwrites the current byte and values must be entered in hexadecimal.
When finished, press ESCAPE to save your changes - the result will be saved as "OUTPUT" on the current media.
Exit Messages
"Bad name or file not found" - the filename you entered does not exist
"File too large to fit in memory" - only 16k or less files can be edited
Known Problems/Future Enhancements
