Me too. Never mind folks, I bit the bullet and wrote the code - figured it would be good practice for my rusty C, even if it is just 50 lines worth of practice. I guess I just didn't like the idea of wasting a few K of my bootdisk on such a special-purpose tool, but so be it. Oh well, if anyone else is ever looking for such a tool on debian-user they'll know who to email. :)
