Check out DU-V80.  THis is a PD absolute disk sector editor.  I have run it
on at least three different machines, and it seems to be very good, as long
as you know what you are doing.  You need to know the directory layout, and
how to read control blocks and such, but it's pretty slick.
You can edit in ASCII or hex at a minimum.  It won't follow the sector 
allocation sequence, you have to do that yourself.  Simtel20 ought to have it,
but I couldn't tell you where it might be.  I think it should be available
on all CP/M BBS's.

Good Luck
Marc
