Johnson and Steven Lisk. + +This is a neat program that contains some neat code. 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". |
