Freeware Hex Editor XVI32

Important note: Before release 1.6, there was a problem concerning the visibility of controls on few PCs (at least two are known) which is now fixed. Sorry for any inconveniences.

Currently, XVI32 is downloaded about 2,300 times per month directly from my homepage (i.e. without mirrors, freeware archives etc.). You can also view a list of the domains from where XVI32 was downloaded during July until September, 2000.

• Easily works with huge files. Try to open a 60 MB sized text file with some other hex editor (not to speak about Wordpad), then use XVI32... If you don't have such a huge text file, use my freeware tool RndFile to create one
• XVI32 allows to edit files up to 2 GB (enough virtual memory provided, of course)
• For your convenience, XVI32 stores settings and last used search strings etc. in XVI32.INI file
• Progress indication in percent for most operations
• You can abort nearly all operations (reading/writing files, search, replace, print...)
• Display of both text (ASCII/ANSI) and hexadecimal representation
• Two synchronous cursors in text and hex area
• Fully resizeable window (change number of rows and columns)
• Font and font size adjustable
• Overwrite or insert characters
• Insert text or hex string n times
• Switch byte offset (address) of first byte between 0 or 1 to examine also record structure of plain text files
• Search text or hex string, e.g. find "this text" or find "0D 0A"
• Search optionally with joker char, e.g. find "A.C" or "00 2E 2E 00" where "." = "2E" (user-defined) stands for any character
• Fast searching algorithm (Quicksearch) for both search directions (down/up)
• Count occurences of text or hex string
• Replace text or hex string, e.g. replace "0D 0A" by "0A" or replace "0D 0A" by text "EOL"
• Extremely fast "replace all" mode (if needed, additional memory is allocated beforehead, not at every single replacing operation)
• Auto-fill feature to copy bytes from current address into input field for hex string using right arrow key
• Character conversion using self-defined character table
• Easy converting of text to hex string in dialogs (e.g. "abc" -> "61 62 63")

• Bit manipulation (view or set bits)
• Insert file contents into file
• Write block to file
