 Use OFW EMACS to edit a file, e.g.:

   ok emacs u:\debxolxd.img

 Shorten the file by, e.g., deleting some characters in the first line.
 Then save the file with F6 or ^X-^S.  Exit emacs, then inspect the file
 with, e.g.

   ok more u:\debxolxd.img

 The file may have junk at the end that wasn't there before the edit.
