    Program Title:  EditRand

    Detailed Program Description:

       EditRand is a random file browse/edit/sort utility.  Excerpts from
       the manual giving a good general description:

	    EDITRAND can be used to analyze random data in ways not
       possible using the program that created the data.  Using EDITRAND,
       data can be  viewed exactly as it exists on disk, allowing speedy
       verification of program output and intelligent troubleshooting of
       problem situations.  Avoid long hours of testing - use EDITRAND to
       peek at those random files and find the exact fields and records
       that are suspected of being corrupt or invalid.	Have you found that
       an application will not allow a change that is desired?	Load the
       data file into EDITRAND, swiftly make the desired changes, and put
       the data back into operation without a lengthy waiting period.

       Highlights:

	*    Browse and edit random files produced by any program,
	     regardless of record structure

	*    Display an entire record on the screen at one time

	*    Determine exact location of data fields with the use of
	     ruled display and user definable tab stops

	*    Full text, hexidecimal, and ASCII data editing

	*    Cursor key navigation just like ordinary text editors

	*    Perform standard editing functions such as Search,
	     Replace, Word Count, Cut and Paste

	*    Perform record functions such as Append, Delete, Copy,
	     Move and Sort

	*    Full featured binary number operations, based on IEEE (the
	     default) and MBF formats

	*    Restrict operations to a range of records and/or range
	     of columns (this allows the user to focus operations on
	     a particular data field)

	*    Undo/Undelete changes to records

	*    Create backup files for security purposes

	*    On line help screen showing all defined function keys

	*    Works on files of UNLIMITED SIZE

	*    Works on random files created by any language


    Who is the intended user?  EditRand is intended for programmers or
    other persons intimately knowledgable of DOS files and random files in
    particular.  It is intended to allow editing, troubleshooting, and
    debugging of random files and their parent applications.  (EditRand is
    NOT an application program debugger - examining a random file with
    EditRand can give clues as to application program problems.)


    This version (1.1) is new to the PC-SIG library.

    Unique features:  There are many file listing programs around, even a
    couple that will handle random files.  As far as I know, there are no
    such programs that allow standard editing features of random files.

    Program's capacity or limitations:  See Highlights above for capacity
    (such as files of any size, random files created by any application
    written in any language, etc).  Only restriction is a maximum record
    length of 1600 bytes per record.

    No special requirements (will run with 256K, single floppy disk, and
    monochrome monitor.)
