From: uz@wuschel.ibb.schwaben.com (Ullrich von Bassewitz) Subject: HexEd - small hex editor Date: Tue, 26 May 1998 13:36:14 GMT -----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE----- In the last years I've got several request for a new version of HexEd, or at least one compiled for libc5. However several problems with the tools available for Linux prohibited releasing a new version. But now, since egcs is somewhat more up-to-date with the current C++ standard and there's a glibc supporting threads, I'm proud to announce HexEd version 1.2 A short description is appended below. If you know version 1.1, here's a list of changes: * Better X support (-geometry and -fn are recognized, Alt key handling improved). * Somewhat faster screen update. * Many minor improvements (it's so long, I forgot most of them :-) * Distribution changed. There's now a source tgz for real men, and source and binary RPMs for the rest of the world. But beware: HexEd *needs* glibc/egcs. There's no way around this. One last word: If you don't like it, please don't use it. Don't write me mails telling me what a weird type of guy I am, writing Linux apps that look like DOS programs. I know that already, thank you. That said, here's the description: What it is - ---------- HexEd is a small binary editor. It features * a user friendly, menu driven interface * multiple windows (great for manually comparing binaries!) * multiple operating system support (DOS, OS/2, Linux, FreeBSD) * national language support (currently english and german are supported - more languages may be added without recompiling) * freeware, even for commercial use * full source code HexEd has been developed using a portable C++ class library for creating text mode applications that can be compiled for DOS, OS/2, Linux and FreeBSD without even changing a single source line and without any #define's in your application source. HexEd is completely menu driven and has most things you expect from a text mode DOS program even under the UNIX like operating systems. It supports colors and the IBM line drawing chars on the linux console. Where to get it - --------------- Server: ftp.gwdg.de Directory: /pub/misc/hexed Files: hexed-1.2.tar.gz (Sources) hexed-1.2-1.rpm (Binaries in RPM format) hexed-1.2-1-src.rpm (Sources in RPM format) I will also upload the RPMs at ftp.redhat.com. You should hopefully find them in the contrib directory in the near future. - -- Ullrich von Bassewitz uz@ibb.schwaben.com - -- This article has been digitally signed by the moderator, using PGP. http://www.iki.fi/mjr/cola-public-key.asc has PGP key for validating signature.
