[ale] tool to repair a binary file given a diff between hex dumps of the original and the altered

[Jerry Yu]

thanks. Mike. hexedit is good.  I tried it and repaired the 'bad' file

same.

Someone on the list sent me a private email, indicating a windows version is
available at at
http://www.physics.ohio-state.edu/~prewett/hexedit<http://www.physics.ohio-state.edu/%7Eprewett/hexedit/>
