Re: [Freedos-user] uHex - a hex editor for DOS released under GPL
Hi, Yes, I know about the existence of zillions of other hex viewers/editors for - OTOH I am not trying to make big $$$ out of it :) I've never done a hex viewer - Now that's yet another item out of my life's todo list :) Also, I couldn't find one that would be simple, 8086-compatible and GPL. I will probably add two or three features to uHex in the futur, but it's supposed to stay "trivial" by design :) cheers Mateusz On 02/12/2013 07:48 AM, dos386 wrote: >> "uHex is a simple and fast hex viewer for DOS.

COOL :-) It's rather trivial but in my minimal test it worked. As you might know, there are already 1'000'000'000'000 hex viewers and editors around ... so the market is rather saturated, but most of them are rather unusable, so you could beat them all one day :-) Some ideas: http://jafile.com/uploads/dos386/filedit.txt -- Free Next-Gen Firewall Hardware Offer Buy your Sophos next-gen firewall before the end March 2013 and get the hardware for free!

Hi! No, you do have to scroll for ages as you say :) Currently, you can only go up/low pgup/pgdown and home/end. You are right - this (jump to offset) and a search feature are on the todo list and definitely need to be added in the next version. Thanks for your feedback! Mateusz TJ Edmister wrote: >I like it.

Re: [Freedos-user] uHex - a hex editor for DOS released under GPL
I like it. I have to ask though, when editing a large file, is there a way to seek to a particular offset aside from scrolling for ages? If not I think that would be a high priority feature to add (2nd place would probably be a search function).

[Freedos-user] uHex - a hex editor for DOS released under GPL
Hello, Just wanted to announce that I made this weekend a little hex viewer for DOS, which I released under GNU GPL. Might be of some interest to anyone needing to peek at binary files from time to time. An extract of its readme file: "uHex is a simple and fast hex viewer for DOS. It has been written with care to work fast even on an 8086 CPU, providing support for large files (up to 2 GiB) while using minimal amounts of memory." http://www.viste-family.net/mateusz/software/uhex/ cheers Mateusz -- Free Next-Gen Firewall Hardware Offer Buy your Sophos next-gen firewall before the end March 2013 and get the hardware for free!
