- Why on Earth are you using Jumbo? Try the Aminet for a ridiculous number of
- programs & data! I don`t know what "BinHex" is, but if it allows you to edit
- a file in Hexadecimal, then there are several possibilities:
-
- Someing like Zap, NewZap or FileX should be what you want. FileX is shareware
- & partly crippled, but still has the most features & is the best IMHO. Search
- for those names using the search facility available on SOME Aminet sites.
- Where to find an Aminet site with search facility? Try....
-
- http://www.germany.aminet.org/aminet/
-
- Then choose "Search tool for Aminet files". Try typing "FileX" 1st and you'll
- get 1 file found - "filex20.lha". "Zap" will give you lots of possibilities -
- read the short description to find the correct program.
-
- Hopefully this is what you wanted! :)
