Hiya Guys,

okay I need to edit a file using a patch file.. now the file I'm editing is
35Mb(ish) and I only have 18Mb mem would readfile handle this? If not how
do I get around this problem?

Also The patch format is 4byte offset, 1byte for num bytes to patch and then
num bytes for patch eg..

xxxx,y,zzzz xxxx=offset in file, y=number of bytes to patch zzzz is the
patched data (Which is equal num of bytes to z) so..

001fd83a0523fe0eacd4

would translate to

File offset = 001fd83a
bytes to patch = 05
patch data = 23 fe 0e ac d4

how would I get this info from the patch (Remember the patch /could/ be
bigger than mem!!).. and also remember z could equal a max of 255!!!

Cheers

Mark

T'ra
