Hi,

Jeremy - good point - although I like 'text' editors that can load binary files and modify them.

Reflecting on Jim's idea, zips are somewhat resilient, if you add a handful of bytes you may find the contents are still visible and can be unpacked.

Better to have a command line tool and set it up to be easy to use. On Windows there's the 'send to' facility and some operating systems will let you drag and drop a file on to a desktop icon to pass the file as a parameter to the program associated with the icon.

Does RISC OS have a similar short cut.
