I see posts for MPEX. This too is my preference, but alas, not all shops
are willing to pay for such a fine tool. So I search the archives of my
mind, and believe you me that's a scary place to be, but I did find the
dyeing remains of a memory about a tool that comes with TurboImage
called DBCPlus. It ain't pretty, but it works. Once the datasets are
listed all you have to do is translate the over 100 numbers, think
alphabet.
