Short Description:
------------------
EditRand is a random data file editor. A random data file is any
data file where all records are the same length. Handle flat files,
dBASE III format files, or any file with a proprietary header.
Employs typical editor functionality such as search, replace, word
count. Display and enter in full ASCII, hexidecimal, or binary numeric.
Focus operations on a particular field or range of records.
Requires MS DOS 3.0 or greater, 400 KB RAM, mono or color monitor,
floppy or hard drive. Maximum file size 2 gigabytes. Maximum record
length 1600 in monochrome, 3040 for EGA, or 3600 for VGA.
Long Description:
-----------------
EDITRAND can be used to analyze data files in ways not possible using
the program that created the data. Using EDITRAND, data can be viewed
exactly as it exists on disk, allowing speedy verification of program
output and intelligent troubleshooting of problem situations. Avoid
long hours of testing - use EDITRAND to peek at those data files and
find the exact fields and records that are suspected of being corrupt
or invalid. Have you found that an application will not allow a change
that is desired? Load the data file into EDITRAND, swiftly make the
desired changes, and put the data back into operation without a lengthy
waiting period.
Highlights:
* Browse and edit random files produced by any
program, regardless of record structure. A RANDOM
file is any file whose records are all the same length.
* Flat data files, data files with any proprietary
header, or dBASE III format files.
* Display an entire record on the screen at one
time.
