Good functionality, but a jolly pain to use. 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.
