Checking your patch I have discovered that ed does not even have real
support for edition of binary files; the control characters aren't
correctly (or at all) shown on screen.
What do you mean the control characters aren't correctly shown?
Sorry, I didn't explain clearly. I meant "while checking your patch I
discovered that the unpatched ed itself does not show correctly (or at
all) control characters on screen". Just try a line with a null byte or
a "carriage return".
Some binary files include multi-byte chars and people would like to show
the multi-byte chars in the binary files.
How can a multi-byte char be recognized as such inside a binary file
(arbitrary sequence of bytes)?
I can enhance the patch.
It is not a problem with your patch. It is simply that ed is too limited
for what you want it to do.
Regards,
Antonio.
