HexED

Short:        Hex v1.01 -- Old but good binary editor.
Author:       Nicola Salmoria
Uploader:     Mark Knibbs <mark_k iname com>
Type:         disk/moni
Replaces:     disk/moni/HexED.lha
Architecture: m68k-amigaos

The previous Hex 1.01 archive on Aminet did not contain all files. This one
does. I simply archived the Hex directory from Fish disk #517.

The Workbench icon, changes and poster files are included, as is req.library.
Note that this archive contains an old version of req.library (2.5). Do not
copy this to LIBS: if you already have a later version.

Hex  is  a  file-based  (as  opposed  to sector-based, like NewZAP) binary file
editor.  This means that the file is loaded in memory all at once, edited there
and  saved  at  the  end.  There  are  advantages  and  disadvantages  in  both
approaches:  sector-based  editors  heavy  depend on device speed in operations
like search; on the other hand, file based-ones take longer to display the file
for the first time, 'cos they have to load it all. Moreover, file-based editors
need  more  memory, and it may be impossible to load very large files. Hex uses
the  same text routines of MiniView80. This means it's got (one of) the fastest
and smoothest screen rendering ever seen in a file editor.
