Description:

EDBIN is the name of the transient utility which provides the facility for Editing of binary files in DOS. Binary files are defined as any file which does not contain exclusively displayable alphanumeric characters in the range 20h to 7Eh.
By using EDBIN, any file can be loaded into memory and examined, amended and resaved as necessary. Commands are provided for loading a file into memory, editing memory in hexadecimal and ASCII, for initializing areas of memory to a specified byte or word value, for copying the contents of a block of memory to a different location, for searching for a specified string and comparing two areas of memory.

After editing, data can be written back to disc, either to an original filename or as a different name if required. All EDBIN commands can be terminated, at any time, by using CTRL-C, or suspended using CTRL-S. If console output is suspended by using CTRL-S, it can be restarted sum any key except CTRL-C, CTRL-S or BREAK. The EDBIN program is included on the DOS Plus Boot Disc.

Invoking EDBIN

Two methods are permitted when first calling EDBIN. It may be called either with a filename as a command tail, or with no command tail. This permits a filename to be supplied immediately if, perhaps only one file is to be edited, or for several files to be loaded and saved from within EDBIN. Filenames may include a drive and path specification.
To load EDBIN with a filename supplied, at the DOS prompt enter:

  • EDBIN <filename>

where <filename> is the file that you wish to edit. The file will be loaded into memory by EDBIN automatically, which will then output a '-' prompt to indicate that it is ready to accept further commands.

Alternatively, if you wish to change discs after loading EDBIN because the file is on a different disc, EDBIN can be started by entering only it's name. Again, EDBIN is loaded and responds with the prompt, but no file is loaded for editing. In this mode, memory can be examined and modified without loading a file, or files may be loaded, edited and resaved.
