For thouse all complaining about HIEW size:

Did you try to remove OS/2 part of HIEW?
I think most DOS/WINDOZE users don't need it.

It's easy:

run dexem (included since 5.91)

dexem /s hiew.exe

overwrite hiew.exe with hiew.mz
delete hiew.ne

Results: (ver 6.01)

hiew.exe
orginal: 283815 B
dos only: 102912 B
saved: 180903


you may do it to lxdump & nedump and save totaly: 248905 B without functionality loss (for DOS/WINDOZE)

You may also clean up some text files and save some bytes more or eventualy delete lx/nedump if you not use it.
