   Hmm...  Quite nice.  I didn't know it existed.  It says its been in   
   development for seven years!  D64 Explorer has had three days of development   
   time.   
      
   DirMaster wouldn't have met the requirements I had when I started D64 Explorer   
   though.  It doesn't seem to like GEOS VLIR files very much and I needed to   
   dissect them and I pretty much needed ASCII dumps...  I can't find a sector   
   editor, either.  Oh yes,    
   I found it but its opened in a strange way.  The assembler viewer insists on   
   ignoring the first two bytes, too which isn't right for a GEOS program.   
      
   D64 Explorer will run on all of the usual suspects and is a little more   
   "straight forward".  Its also open source.  I will definitely be looking at   
   DirMaster for inspiration for features in the future though.
