John - You and I obviously have different applications/needs for Norton.

I can fill-in between the lines.

If i NEED to READ the entire contents in HEXIDEC to find the origin and then fill in every seventh slot - Norton will provide the best combinations of possibilities for the ZERO-hole.

Sincerely,
Gargoyle

a fun test ... take a file/anyfile - deleat/shred/encript - and just marvel at what Norton can recover.
