Hello Managers,
I apologize for the late summary. I'd like to thank Andy Cohen, Jim
Belonis, Robin Jean-Marie, Thomas Leitner, J.A. Gutierrez, Mark Deiss,
John Venier, and Harald Nispel for their responses.
The suggestions were software like 'beav' and 'khexedit' 'fm2' and
'hexpert'. Unfortunately the software seemed quite dated, or I wasn't
able to locate sources for them, or they just didn't plain didn't work
for us. A couple of people suggested turning off the temporary file on
emacs, but I admit, I couldn't figure out how to do this.
Finally we settled on using hexedit 1.1.0. It was suggested, and the
source was provided, coincidentally, by a fellow Alpine Electronics
SysAdmin in Germany (Hi Harald!). It wasn't a bias thing, it just
worked the best for us.
Thank you everyone!
Kevin
