I think the best GM PROM editor I have seen is Terry Kelly's GMEPRO.
it's intelligent, gives you a list of tables (from a .EPE file) and even
translates the data to the real world values instead of just popping up a
table of hex digits... you want to change timing at LV8 of 160 for 4800 RPM
and GMEpro shows 14 degrees, not the hex equiv... you highlight it, type
the new value you want and save it.
It's great and I use it exclusively for my car.  Terry,
You have a limited function demo for the FTP site?
