EDDY is ALL of these:
Full-screen directory editor
Disk and directory manager
Sector editor
File finder (by name, attributes and/or timestamp)
File viewer/patcher/comparer
File backup utility
Data recovery utility
String finder/replacer (hex and/or ASCII)

...and MUCH more!
EDDY requires MS-DOS 2.0 or newer, and uses about 180 KB memory.
The complete EDDY package includes the following files:
1. EDDYREAD.ME - This file
2. EDDY.COM - The main program
3. EDDY.AUX - Overlays for LOOK, Update, HELP, and menus
4. EDDY.USE - Sample file to illustrate Point-and-Shoot commands
5. EDDY.DOC - User's Manual
6. EDDY_HST.DOC - History of changes, by version
7. EDDY_REG.DOC - Registration form
8. REGISTER.BAT - Batch file to print the registration form for EDDY
9. VENDOR.DOC - Conditions for commercial distribution of EDDY
10. FILE_ID.DIZ - Text description for posting on BBSs
The EDDY files are packaged for distribution in two formats:
Package format 1 contains all files in ready-to-use form. About 480
KB disk space required, including documentation files.
Package format 2 has the the User's Manual, "EDDY.DOC", stored as a
compressed, self-extracting file, EDDY_DOC.EXE, created using the
compression utility LHA, Copyright Haruyasu Yoshizaki. EDDY.DOC
will occupy about 250 KB of disk space when decompressed.
Package format 2 is used for distributing EDDY on 360 KB, 5-1/4" disks.
All other distributions use package format 1.
Installation
------------
1. Copy all files to the disk/directory you'll use to execute EDDY. If
one of the files you just copied was EDDY.DOC, the installation is
now complete.
2. If your set of files includes the file EDDY_DOC.EXE, you have the
EDDY distribution package format 2. To install EDDY on a system
with no hard drive from this package:
a. Copy EDDY_DOC.EXE to a separate, blank, formatted diskette. The
decompressed EDDY.DOC file won't fit on a single 360K floppy
that also contains the other EDDY files.
b. To access the EDDY.DOC file, run EDDY_DOC.EXE from this
separate diskette. This will decompress the User's Manual,
requiring about 250 KB of additional disk space.
Once EDDY is installed, the simplest way to get familiar with it is to
just type "EDDY" and [Enter]. Menus and context-sensitive HELP are
available as needed.
Conditions of Use
-----------------
Near the beginning of the file "EDDY.DOC", you will find a complete
disclaimer of responsibility for anything that EDDY may or may not do.
Please read that information carefully.
