I know the Dos 3.3 utility you're talking about.
I used to call it CCVIEW.  Was it a Beagle util.? - Can't remember.

You would RUN CCVIEW, then LOAD & LIST a file, or else CATALOG a disk.
All embedded control chars. would display as INVERSE.  VERY useful.

I'm sure I've still got a copy on a utility disk, as I used it a few
years ago.  I'll hunt it out and send you a copy separately in the
next week.
