Hi! I'd like to announce the release of Mac MPD Utility 1.2, a little tool for assembling and disassembling multi-part data (MPD) files.

(...) There are plenty of other hose generators. Mlcad, LDDP, ldglite, and LEDIT mode for emacs all have them. And I think some of them do support fixed length hoses.
