Re: hex editor?

Hi Alex --
Well on unix/linux there is od (for octal dump).  It had an option to 
display in hex the contents of a file as raw hex, 4-digit (16 bit) words 
separated by space, 10per line.
As I remember, there were also switches to display in octal dump of the same 
data, or ascii equivalents.
But od was not an editor.
I believe the old editor vi or vim can display escape sequences of data --  
but that isn't hex.  I also haven't used vi for ages, so can't say for sure.
Now for windows, I don't know what's available.
Good luck.

Subject: hex editor?


Hi all,
I am looking for a simple hex editor to view files (bin, dll, and anything
else you can use a hex editor for). I have never really worked with a hex
editor before, but I would like the contents displayed in a way that is easy
to read, not "hex string, English" or another configuration that means I
have to listen to the entire entry just to hear what something means. I hope
this makes sense. Obviously, the editor has to be accessible, and free is
always good. Any suggestions?


Have a great day,
Alex
