I use some engineering software called Catia. The files produced by Catia encode a software version number. If the version number is greater than the version of the installed software, Catia refuses to open the file. This is annoying in the extreme. Especially if you want to share files in the spirit of open source. If the files that I create are newer than the Catia version of my audience, then my audience can't use my files. My question to my more knowledgeable computer geek friends: How do I analyze and edit an arbitrary binary file? I know this is a bigger topic than a quick response on -chat might allow. So really what I am asking is, What tools, topics, and keywords do I need to google in order to understand this task. Thanks in advance, Jason C. Wells
