- About MiniHex v1.1b by Deniil 715!
- ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
- This program is, as you might have noticed, a hex-editor.
- You can use it to edit particular bytes/words/longs and
- also insert and delete data!
- It is very simple and just a little program a had to make fast
- because I didn't knew of any other hexeditor that worked _well_
- in my high-end system..
-
- If "Filesize:" for some reason doesn't match the real filesize
- then the reading failed at some point, like out of mem or something.
-
- Note: This is a "low-priority" product, is was not developed to be
- the ultimate hexeditor, so please don't overthrow me with
- suggestions and such unless you found a serious bug or so... :)
-
- News:
- ~~~~~
- v1.1b
- * Fixed a bug with the font in the monitor window. I thought it would
- fall back to topaz if Dale.font/8 was not found (which was default)
- but it didn't. Now it should however.
-
- v1.1a
- * Now you can edit files with infinite size (meaning 2 gig in AmigaOS).
- If a file is larger than 10k MiniHex will ask you to load just a
- part of the file, or if you want, load the whole file anyway.
-
- * You can insert a file or part of a file into an other or extract
- a part of a file and save it alone!
-
- * I have fixed _some_ bug with the scrolling routine that hanged
- or malfunctioned sometimes..
-
- * A search function has been added. (Actually, this was added 3 years
- ago. I accidently uploaded a preview version to OnyxSoft and Aminet ;))

- Usage of the GUI:
- ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
- Position: The position in the file where to edit. You can enter the
- position in either hexadecimal (hex) or decimal (dec) form.
-
- Editor: Here you edit the actual byte(s) which is at "Position".
-
- Blocksize: The size that you want to edit (byte/word/long). This is
- ignored when "Ed-display: " is set to "String of 32 chars".
-
- Ed-display: How the "Editor: " should display and enterpretate the
- data in the file.
-
- |Clr| will simply set the current data in "Editor" to zero.
-
- |Add Workspace| adds a, by the user defined, number of bytes at the
- end of the file.
-
- |Insert Workspace| will do the same as |Add Workspace| but at the
- current cursor-position.
-
- |Delete Workspace| will delete, by the used defined, number of bytes
- at the current cursor-position.
-
- |Monitor| will open (and close) a monitor window that can be quite
- useful. In the monitor you can browse around with the
- cursorkeys or the mouse with left button pressed down.
-
- |New| will clear the current file and set a new empty editor
- with 100 bytes.
-
- |Load| will let you load a file to edit. If the file is large than
- 10kB a window will open asking you if you only want to load
- a part of the file. You then specify where to start to edit
- and how many bytes you want to edit. Very practical if you f.ex
- want to edit a header of a very large file, like a sample or
- a movie or something, or the ID3-tag of a mp3.
-
- |Reload| will simply reload the last file opened without a requester.
- If the file is more than 10kB the window described for |Load|
- will appear here again making it very simple for you to use
- this button only to change edit-position in a very large file!
-
- |Save| will save the current file with it's current file-name. If you
- have only loaded a part of a file then only that part will be
- rewritten, not the whole file, the rest of the file will stay
- intact however.
-
- |Save As| will let you enter a new name and path for your file and then
- save it. If you choose a file that already exists you will be
- asked if you want to save in this existing file or just write
- a new file. If you enter a new file that does not exist and
- you have loaded just a part from another file then only this
- part will be saved, not the whole file you originally loaded
- a part from! This enables you to snap a part of a large file
- and then save that part separately!
-
- |Quit| Will exit the program.

- Bugs:
- ~~~~~
- Browsing in the monitor window is sometimes buggy, I know this, but it's
- too much work to fix this as MiniHex is a low-pri product.

-
- The program was finished 21/6 2000.
