thanks!  and thanks again also to the folks who replied by e-mail.

I now have a version working under UNIX (only took a few minutes, even),
but it doesn't seem to work with turbo c++ 1.0.  what a surprise....turbo
c++ fails once again....  oh well, I've got a good start now.

oh, and some heard this via e-mail, but....  once again, ask a question on
the net, and within 24 hours, lots and lots of replies....  and some people
wonder why people think UseNet is worth anything.....  :-)

btw, the way I setup the version that works fine under UNIX is basically
to read the binary into a buffer (fopen'ed, of course, in binary mode),
search for the string you want to replace, determine the offset, and
then replace that with the new version of the string.  what I did, however,
was simply to write the data (all of it) back out to the file, and when I
got to the chars that were to be changed, I inserted the new values instead
of the buffer's values.

only problem with this under turbo c++ 1.0 is that it refuses to open the
file in binary mode...first time it sees a ^Z (around 9k or so), that's
it.  this applies for open and fopen.  does anyone know if there's a patch
for this?  or is there something screwy I'm missing?  (yeah, I know, opening
myself up for major puns there....)

thanks all!
