Thank you all for the input. Below is a new version of dump-bin that includes Ashley's suggestions. Hallvard you got my permission to include in prob.r.
Greg, I think your suggestion that probe should produce output similar to dump-bin by default is great. I hope Carl goes for it. Finally, I hope to be posting other code snippets soon. I am working on a ssh scheme for rebol versions that support encryption. I am thinking about releasing it to the public, but first I need to figure out the licensing terms.
