XVI32 is a freeware hex editor running under Windows 95, Windows 98, Windows NT, Windows 2000, and Windows XP.XVI32 has the following main features. Especially note the highlighted advantages of XVI32.

* data inspector to view decoded numbers (see screen shot; can be turned off).
* Has built-in script interpreter.
* 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"
* Simplified search for Unicode Latin (UTF-16) strings
* Search optionally with joker (wildcard) char that will match any character, 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"
