Ah, yes. But I have to write this stuff on Windoze, not *nix. We are
MVPs~ for SQL and Access DB stuff. While there is WinVi, it's spotty and
doesn't provide hex editing. And I refuse to use an editor named Elvis...

I'd forgotten that one. There was a vim for Windiws, IIRC - or to be
acurae, for a DOS in a window :-).

I'd meant the vi reference more or less as a joke, but it really is a lot
more powerful than a lot of folks realize. The problem is leaning all
hose esoteric command sequences :-).
