Re: Fluke Signatures....

<x-flowed>

Seed file? I used the Pacman 6E as I recall. Just ran the calculator
utility included with Hexedit (http://www.expertcomsoft.com/) a nice
windows file editor - search and replace etc...

There was mention that the signature was created using "The ROM signature
is obtained by successively dividing the data in ROM by a binary number" in
the manual as you may recall...what order would the data be divided? Would
this matter?
