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. -- "Afterward he appeared unto the eleven as they sat at meat, and upbraided them with their unbelief and hardness of heart, because they believed not them which had seen him after he was risen."
