| 19746 | 2001-10-01 10:17:00 | My Irfanview has the option to open in hex viewer. All I get is a bunch of cryptic stuff which I can't edit, so what's it used for. | Guest (0) | ||
| 19747 | 2001-10-01 10:51:00 | The option enables Files to be read at the binary level then displayed in hexadecimal with ASCII representation. Used by programmers and developers and nosey people to look/search through the programme code..For specific things..If you had an editor you could modify this code to change the way a programme works..Also handy for seeing files on disks for recovery of lost information or reconstructing damaged files files etc. ==Orac== |
