Hi Pete !
Thank you for "disassembling" the hex into mnemonics! :O)
One question remains in my head:
if /.\{73,}/ find all lines, for what is the "g" for?
I mean...more than finding the whole line in the whole line make
no sense to me (and obviously "only to me" ;) ...
Vim - the text assemble ;)))
Keep hacking!
