Check out DU-V80. THis is a PD absolute disk sector editor. I have run it on at least three different machines, and it seems to be very good, as long as you know what you are doing. You need to know the directory layout, and how to read control blocks and such, but it's pretty slick. You can edit in ASCII or hex at a minimum. It won't follow the sector allocation sequence, you have to do that yourself. Simtel20 ought to have it, but I couldn't tell you where it might be. I think it should be available on all CP/M BBS's.
