I wider display would be most welcome...something along the lines of some of the older hex viewers, showing 16 or 32 bytes across and then the text where viewable with the cursor moving in both sets and tabbing between them. Also, it would be most useful to be able to enter the desired location directly as a kind of "goto"(no, let's not start that again). At least the version I downloaded would only view 32k of any file larger than 32k. It also stopped at the fifth byte of another file that I wanted to view. Probably, you are not getting past false EOF's in the binary. It also crashed when I closed it after opening and looking at 32k of a file greater than 40k. Still in all, something that we haven't seen before. Is VEL still being maintained by anybody? Has anybody obtained the Delphi source from Gary? I can think of lots of small ini and cfg type files that this could be useful for. Might want a little further testing though. Everett L.(Rett) Williams rett at gvtc.com
