>UltraEdit ... will open the FullProf sum file as binary... I meant hexadecimal :-) Do cntrl-H to switch to ascii in UltraEdit. The interest of UltraEdit http://www.ultraedit.com/ is that it knows the syntax of many languages, C, Perl, Fortran etc and can be told about other syntax. It makes it easier to understand and write code. UltraEdit can even be used to edit files on your PC when the files are on a remote Unix or Vax system, with the help of another excellent application, terminal emulator NetTerm. Coupled with a little C-program NetEdit on your Unix machine http://starbase.neosoft.com/~zkrr01/ you can then graphically edit files on your Unix server from your home PC, even across a firewall on an ordinary telephone line.
