HEXEDIT 1.0 beta
**********************************************************************
First a warning:
HEXEDIT is a utility for programmers and other people who know what
they are doing. If you play around and manipulate some bits and bytes
in executables, EAs, and such, anything can happen!
HEXEDIT WILL NOT WARN YOU BEFORE OVERWRITING FILES WITH "SAVE AS..."!!!
I assume absolutely no responsibility for what you do with HexEdit, nor
for any damage that occurrs through the use or abuse of the program.
HEXEDIT 1.0 beta is Freeware. (The actual release will not be free).
You may copy and redistribute as much as you like, as long as you
always include this very document.
You may not alter it in any way.
***********************************************************************
What HEXEDIT is
===============
Well, surprise, surprise. It's a Hex Editor.
I don't think I'll have to explain much about what it does and how
to use it. You'll figure it out.
some features:
- native 32bit OS/2 PM app. (no port)
- multi-threaded
- max. file size supported is 2GB
- HPFS and EA aware
Installation
============
There is no installation. It's just one EXE.
An INI file will be created when you first use it.
Where, is kind of undefined yet and depends on how you start it.
(it's a beta). The location will be stored in OS2.INI (it's the
only thing that goes into OS2.INI - everything else is in the
private INI file).
To change the location of the INI file, invoke "Preferences..." from
the "File" menu. (or click right mouse button into window)
I suggest to change the font to "System VIO 11p". Looks best.
Why it is a beta
================
So far HEXEDIT has been absolutely stable. I am not aware of any major
bugs. (Dialogs look a little clumsy with Large Fonts)
It is mainly performance and some additional functionality I want to
work on before making the final release. (Especially how to handle
the .LONGNAME EA across file systems)
And I want your input !!!
So, if there are any features that you would like to be added,
anything that doesn't behave the way you would expect it to,
anything that doesn't look cool,
any bugs,
please let me know!

Hope, you'll love it.
