Description
Bpatch is a curses based binary editor. When started on a file it displays windows containing both hex and ascii representations of the first page of data. You can edit it in hex or ascii, search for patterns etc.
Productivity
Very useful at times. Great for looking through machine format dumps from programs, or slightly modifiing binary programs!
Safety
Used it for several years, and have modified the code slightly.
Work Planned
None
Verification
Run bpatch fileName and you should get a window on the data.
