Questin is why do you want to mess with it? That's not exactly my idea of fun ...
I'd still use alter system, alter database commands to change whatever. Raj

That's a good point. Someone should try a binary editor instead, like bvi and see what happens.

I wonder if it is something built into the file or something that vi (or whatever editor you are using) does to the file when you save it. I say that because, if you edit the text part of an export file with vi, you get an unusable file. But the text part of an export file can be edited by other means and it will work -- for example, by running it through a C or Perl program and editing the stream as it flows through the program; and I think, if the export file is not too big (< 2 gig I think ) emacs (with certain options??) can be used.
The official word in the 9i new features class at the ivory tower in Colorado Springs is that all the new features are wonderful, and you should be using them.
