Short: Hex v1.01 -- Old but good binary editor. Author: Nicola Salmoria Uploader: Mark Knibbs Type: disk/moni Replaces: disk/moni/HexED.lha 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. -- Mark ----------------------------------------------------------------------------- # # ##### # # # # # # # ##### ### # # # # # # # # ##### # # ----------------------------------------------------------------------------- Hex V1.0, Copyright (c) 1990 by Nicola Salmoria Via Piemonte 11 53100 Siena ITALY All rights reserved 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. ============================= Archive contents ============================= Original Packed Ratio Date Time Name -------- ------- ----- --------- -------- ------------- 20 20 0.0% 20-Jul-91 19:49:00 +.info 43352 20454 52.8% 20-Jul-91 19:48:18 +Hex 1971 1059 46.2% 20-Jul-91 19:48:22 +Hex.changes 18738 7291 61.0% 20-Jul-91 19:48:30 +Hex.doc 734 641 12.6% 20-Jul-91 19:48:50 +Hex.doc.info 1192 738 38.0% 20-Jul-91 19:48:34 +Hex.info 748 346 53.7% 20-Jul-91 19:48:58 +InstallLibrary 1016 320 68.5% 20-Jul-91 19:48:56 +InstallLibrary.info 501 290 42.1% 20-Jul-91 19:48:46 +POSTER 454 283 37.6% 20-Jul-91 19:48:34 +ReadMe 734 643 12.3% 20-Jul-91 19:48:50 +ReadMe.info 18012 11859 34.1% 20-Jul-91 19:48:44 +req.library 624 242 61.2% 20-Jul-91 19:43:42 Hex.info -------- ------- ----- --------- -------- 88096 44186 49.8% 13-Oct-97 04:00:58 13 files
