It allows you +to dump or edit files (binary or ascii), displayed by 256-byte records +in side-by-side hex and ascii formats. Other features (eg. toggled +swap within byte pairs) are included. The most interesting feature of this editor is that it doesn't load the entire file at once, unlike all other hex editors. Thus, you can browse and edit very large files or even raw disks. + +The program does not include a redistribution notice, but it was posted +to comp.sources.unix ages ago, and the README mentions the word "public +domain". |
