Are there any decent PD floppy disc sector editors out there?  Ie
something that allows you to page through the data on a disc,
hopefully searching for certain information if you want.  Dunno, just
a thought anyway.

Actually although at first glance this may appear to be true, somewhat
surprisingly I found it quite interesting (and instructive) to put
together a working word processor, its a good exercise in dynamic
memory management, file handling etc etc, plus of course you get to
put all those functions that you've always wanted on a word processor
but were afraid to ask for.
