Visit http://www.TGD-Consulting.de/Download.html and take a look at
the final release of Hex-It!.
Hex-It! is a small but powerful hex-editor. You can use this tool to analyse
or alter the "fingerprints" for any kind of files.
Known first as a contribution to the REBOL Demo 2006 contest, the final
release with enhanced features is available now.
Features of Hex-It! v1.2.0:
---------------------------
* cross platform hex-editor
* free "save-feature" for small files sized lesser 15 KB, to edit larger
files purchase a license-key that unlocks this limitation
* enhanced spot navigation with mouse scroll-wheel support
* non blocking file access
* support of large files (a maximum chunk of 1MB file-data is only held in
memory at once)
Some notes and useful tips & tricks on the usage of Hex-It!:
------------------------------------------------------------
- Modifications of files were automatically saved on exit, if you load
another file or if a different chunk of the same file is selected.
- Byte selection:
+ Select a byte with a left mouse button (LMB) click on the hexadecimal
values to the left. The byte is highlighted then.
+ If a byte is selected, either use the cursor keys or the scroll-wheel of
the mouse to scroll through the bytes of the file.
+ Change a selected byte with plus (+) & minus (-) or just enter its
new value. Single characters, three digit numbers or single hexadecimal
values are valid.
+ Use the right mouse button (RMB) to deselect a highlighted byte.
- Spot-navigation:
+ The spot specifies the index/position of a byte in the file. If no byte
is selected it shows the position of the top left byte displayed.
+ Enter a number to set directly the spot to a byte-position.
+ Skip a certain amount of bytes relative to the current spot by using
plus (+) & minus (-), e.g. "+10000" skips 10000 bytes forward and
"-1000" skips 1000 bytes backwards.
+ Skip to end of file: Click with the RMB on the arrow-down Spot-button
or use the "End"-Key.
+ Skip to first byte of file: Click with the RMB on the arrow-up
Spot-button or use the "Home"-Key.
- Seek:
+ ASCII- or Hex-Strings are valid queries.
+ LMB click on the "Seek"-button seeks from the current position.
+ RMB click on the "Seek"-button seeks from the beginning of the file.
Please note, that the license of this release is not BSD like anymore.
Any feedback welcome
