Cool, thanks for the tip. I have been wondering how to do this output format with hexdump... never bothere to go to such depths... hexedit has the same output (pretty much) but it has the advantage of being able to actually edit in place as well as seek to wherever you want and it even has a "sector" mode where you can seek to any sectors with the obvious advantage that when you read off a mapping pairs array for example you can decompress it by hand on a piece of paper and then immediately seek to the right sectors to look at the contents. In sector mode it's just "press enter", enter sector number to seek to, "press enter"... I guess it boils down to hexedit being interactive and hexdump only being a dump tool, but every one has their pet tools... (-; Anton -- "I've not lost my mind.
