For example try this: cp /bin/cat ~/mycat vi ~/mycat [esc] :%!xxd [esc] :%!xxd -r [esc] :wq! ./mycat You can also 'pre' xxd transform the file, then edit it, then transform it back when finished. --- Mark atkin901 at NOSPAM yahoo dot com (!wired)?(coffee++):(wired); ___ [EMAIL PROTECTED] mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to "[EMAIL PROTECTED]"
