I think, I'll try this. Just a couple of days ago I saw Blackbeard in a
Compuserve file library. Today I didn't find it anymore. Now, at second
reading of your message I see, you keep it on your page.
BTW, there is an update of the DOS 6.x editor EDIT.EXE (works without
Qbasic) which can load large files. Unfortunately, I never could manage
to process a file with it in the desired way.
