[Coco] A good OS9 utility for Gene

[Stephen H. Fischer]

Hi,

Please send this to the Devil, it is an candidate for my add on NitrOS-9 
disk.

If you have a doc page for it, that would also be good.

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..
