CTC's SPF/PC V4.0.7 could handle/edit/display/etc. hex data - but they refuse to resurrect and republish their SPF/PC. As for recovering from unwanted updates, try backing up your system incrementally and before accepting any updates. I still use Norton's Ghost V14 for that (i.e. for local backups.) Symantec wishes I did not and instead used their "cloud" for that. They must be joking <grin>.
