Displays arbitrary files in three columns: relative address (position in file), numerical dump, and ASCII dump. Bases of address and numerical columns (default is hexadecimal) and the formatting of the numerical column can be set.
Hex.Open follows the usual parameter conventions and also accepts any of the following options (in any order; lower case option selector are ok):
/A <integer> base for addresse column (default 16)
/B <integer> base for numeric column (default 16)
/L <integer> bytes per line (default 16)
/G <integer> bytes per group (default 4)
In the menu bar two additional commands are available: Hex.Search performs a textual search in the ASCII column; otherwise like Edit.Search. Hex.Store writes an edited file back to disk. Warning: the file editor does not automatically generate backup file copies!
When copying selected stretches in a file editor viewer, the semantics of what is copied are different depending on the selection begin and end. If begin and end of the selection cover digits in the numerical column, only part of the numerical column (no addresses and no ASCII parts) are copied. Likewise, if begin and end of the selection cover characters in the ASCII column, only part of the ASCII column is copied. For all other cases, the whole selction is copied.
When deleting using the mouse right-left interclick, the selection rules apply. Numeric selections cause deletion to zero, ASCII selections cause deletion to blanks.
Cursor, TAB, CR, LF, BS, and DEL keys are supported. The caret is always forced to legal positions.
