I can't tell you. I'd have to "see" the whole file. Diags were a real PITA to edit because each code page was almost identical except for the entry point routine name and...

When I worked in Tape Prep we did that kind of editing, too. A file is a file is a file. We didn't care what the guy or gal who submitted the request did with it. We typed up specs, docs, and anything that could be stored in bits. When I became head of the RUNOFF group, my goal was to convert all of our documentation into bits. Before that, most of the paper documentation shipped to customers was done by typists. This was one of the reasons documentation could lag software ships by 2 years.
I could then tell to transfer me to another system. But were just starting to separate terminal concentrators from network servers.
Oh, no. All we did was add another chapter to the story. It's wonderful story with a very good moral about making buttumptions and then correcting them years later.
Well, the easiest way to bail out of Windows is honestly try to do something useful. It plants every time.
Kids learn how to feed themselves when they're allowed to hold the spoon. It's exactly the same thing.
OF course!!!! TECO does exactly what you tell to and nothing more. Now, some may consider this a bug or a non-feature but I think it was the most valuable implementation. I hate editors that do things "for you".
Oh, we certainly used FILCOM (TOPS-10's diff). That's how we got so supersbreastious about the last edit. There was some edit that took Magee five times to do because Murphy concentrated on that edit.
I had to type at least three times as many characters to insert 7. (I'm also counting the strokes needed to position to the line.
Think about the typists' metric words-minute. It is more productive to have all of those words-minute be applied to the characters to be put into the file rather than the wastage of telling the program you want to insert some characters.
It is a huge waste of keystrokes.
So now that's more than doubling the characters to type: the one's to be deleted, the ones to be inserted and the appropriate wrapping of command characters around them.
BAH
