Alexander Bessonov has done a great job
on this program. I have never seen a hex editor with an MDI
(multiple document interface). In the past, I have always used the
XVI32 hex editor and
this editor competes well against it. I think the ability to have more
than one file open will really come in handy. The program installed easily
but the installer pops up their website page when it
finishes. I think they could do without that. The interface will be
immediately familiar to anyone who has used hex editors. Lately it seems
that I'm seeing more and more high quality freeware from Russia.
Hexedit is an excellent program and a prime example of Russian
generosity. Thanks to Vasiliy Vasilyev for recommending this freeware. Be
sure to check out the home page at their website for more freeware
programs.
Caution: It's a good idea to make backup copies of any file you intend to change with a hex editor. Any hex editing tool can foul up your programs or Windows OS if you don't know what you are doing. Quote from the website -
