[Coco] A good OS9 utility for Gene

[Bill Pierce]

Gene, and anyone else that's interested..

I have a utility that I've used since the late 80s. It's "almost" exactly like ded but with a few command changes. It's called "med". It will edit a module (ded style) in memory. I don't think it cares if the moduleis in use or not. Instead of ded'ing the OS9boot, I use med and then cobbler a new boot, eliminating backing up the old boot etc. In a lot of cases, it saves me a lot of time. Yes, when you want to change one byte in a descriptor in your os9boot, ded is the tool. But when making a new boot and you need to say... change names of a mod, med works great.

I've never seen this file mentioned here or anywhere else for that matter, then or now. I'm not sure, but I want to say this file came from a download of lzh of some of Kevin Darling's stuff from a Raleigh, NC BBS (downloaded in the late 80s) which was Kevin's home and also the host for the local CC club that Kevin was member (Pres?).

  Anyway, this file is one useful little tool.

Hope it helps someone sometime..
