Try to open a 300 MB sized text file with some other hex editor (not to speak about Wordpad), then use XVI32... - XVI32 allows to edit files up to 2 GB (enough virtual memory provided, of course) - For your convenience, XVI32 stores settings and last used search strings etc. in XVI32.INI file - Progress indication in percent for most operations - You can abort nearly all operations (reading/writing files, search, replace, print...) - Simplified search for Unicode Latin (UTF-16) strings - Computing of CRC16 (standard) and CRC32 (PKZIP compatible) for complete file and selected block (only if block is currently selected) - Display of both text (ASCII/ANSI) and hexadecimal representation - Two synchronous cursors in text and hex area - Fully resizeable window (change number of rows and columns) - Font and font size adjustable - Overwrite or insert characters - Insert text or hex string n times - Switch byte offset (address) of first byte between 0 or 1 to examine also record structure of plain text files - Search text or hex string, e.g. find "this text" or find "0D 0A" - Search optionally with joker char, e.g. find "A.C" or "00 2E 2E 00" where "." = "2E" (user-defined) stands for any character - Fast searching algorithm (Quicksearch) for both search directions (down/up) - Count occurences of text or hex string - Replace text or hex string, e.g. replace "0D 0A" by "0A" or replace "0D 0A" by text "EOL" - Extremely fast "replace all" mode (if needed, additional memory is allocated beforehead, not at every single replacing operation) - Auto-fill feature to copy bytes from current address into input field for hex string using right arrow key - Character conversion using self-defined character table - Easy converting of text to hex string in dialogs (e.g. "abc" -> "61 62 63") - Decoding and encoding of 1, 2, 4, and 8 byte integers or 4/8 byte floats in 2 possible byte orders - Bit manipulation (view or set bits) - Open file in Read Only mode (e.g. if opened by another application or to avoid unintentional modifications) - Insert file contents into file - Write block to file - Copy, move or delete block - Clipboard support - Goto address (absolute or relative up/down) - Up to 9 named bookmarks - Enter jump width and jump up/down (useful for files with fixed record length) - Shredder data (overwrite all bytes with binary zeroes) - Printing with preview or print to file - Easily access most recently used files - And last, but not least: XVI32 is free! II. REQUIREMENTS ================ XVI32 is a 32 bit application and requires Windows 9x/NT/2000/XP/Vista/7. III. INSTALLATION ================= No special installation procedure is required. Just unzip the file XVI32.ZIP which contains the following files: XVI32.EXE executable XVI32U.CHM help file XVI32U.HLP help file (old help format) XVI32U.CNT help contents file (old help format) *.XCT 6 character conversion tables (XCT files), e.g. to convert DOS codepage 850 to Windows codepage 1252 (refer to online help for details) README.TXT this file Create a directory for XVI32, e.g. C:\XVI32 or C:\PortableApps\XVI32. Note for Windows Vista and above: Don't create a directory below the C:\Program Files directory like C:\Program Files\XVI32, because in this case, the program would have no access to its INI file (which is located in the program directory). Copy the above mentioned files into the directory. No data will be written into the registry, no DLLs are copied to your hard disk. The user defined settings are stored in a file XVI32.INI which is located in the same directory as the executable. If you want to open any file with XVI32 from Windows Explorer, you can create a link as described in online help. IV. UNINSTALL XVI32 =================== To uninstall XVI32 completely, proceed as follows: 1. If you have created a shortcut link in the SendTo folder, start XVI32, go to the options dialog (Tools | Options... | Shortcut link) and click on the remove button. Under Windows NT and above, every user must log in and perform this task. It is also possible to remove the link(s) manually (under Win 9x C:\Windows\SendTo, under NT C:\WINNT\Profiles\<USER>\SendTo). 2. Exit XVI32 and delete the complete folder where XVI32 was installed.
