That expression (6 * 30 * 24 * 60 * 60) equals 0x00ed4e00. Use MC's viewer to edit /usr/bin/mc: press <f4> for hex view. Search for "00 4e ed 00" (assuming little endian). But it turns out MC's hex search has a bug: you should tick the "All charsets" and "Case sensitive" checkboxes first.
... which reminds of how I learned the first pieces of knowledge about hex some 20 years ago: I set out to patch Dune 2 save files to get unlimited spice by replacing the actual value with FF FF (having overheard the conversation in the corridor). Of course, on the first attempt, I did it in ACSII mode and guess what, it didn't work! Later, I've got my hands on hiew, as nc at that time, I think, didn't have a hex editor inbuilt.
Are we seriously THAT old? Sigh... -- Sincerely yours, Yury V. Zaytsev _______________________________________________ mc mailing list https://mail.gnome.org/mailman/listinfo/mc
