16 <command>dEd</command> is a screen-oriented disk editor utility. |
| 971 | 17 It was originally conceived as a floppy |
| 18 disk editor, so the display is organized around individual | |
| 19 sectors. It performs most of the functions of Patch, from | |
| 20 Computerware, but is faster, more compact, and | |
| 21 screen-oriented rather than line-oriented. Individual files | |
| 22 or the disk itself (hard, floppy, ram) can be examined and | |
| 23 changed, sectors can be written to an output file, and | |
| 24 executable modules can be located, linked to and verified. | |
| 25 With simple changes, it will run on any CoCo Level I OS-9 | |
| 26 and possibly others (CoCo Level II OS-9). | |
