Portable HxD 1.7.7.0

Editing works like in a text editor with functions streamlined to hide differences that are purely technical. For example you can view a drive just as one stream, can open it under Windows 9x or Windows NT+, undo, search, save, export or whatever you could do with a file.

There is no sector-limited editing that gets in your way. The same holds true for the file size (also > 4 GB), which doesn't affect editing speed and still supports undo. Or have a look at the RAM-editor that supports data-folding on every memory section and hides by default inaccessible memory, for a better overview but keeps the real offsets.

Major Features:

1. Instant opening regardless of file-size (>4GB is no problem: opening, editing are very fast)
2. Fast searching: forward, backwards or from beginning
3. Replace function (fast even for millions of edits)
4. Search and replace support Unicode, Ansi-text and Hex-values
5. Disk-Editor: RAW reading and writing of disks and drives (hard disks, floppy disks, USB-disks, CD-ROM, ...) for Win9x, WinNT and higher
6. RAM-Editor: can read and write virtual memory of other processes
7. Data-folding for better overview in RAM-Editor
8. Exporting of data to source code (Pascal, C, Java) or as formatted output (plain text, HTML, Richtext, TeX) or to hex formats:
9. Motorola S19 Records, Motorola S28 Records, Motorola S37 Records, 16 Bit Intel Hex, 20 Bit Intel Hex, 32 Bit Intel Hex
10. Checksum-Generator: Checksum-8, Checksum-16, Checksum-24, Checksum-32, CRC-16, CRC-16 CCITT, CRC-32, Custom CRC, SHA-1, SHA-256, SHA-384, SHA-512, MD-2, MD-4, MD5
11. Insertion of byte patterns
12. File shredder for safe file deletion
13. Splitting or concatenating of files
14. File compare (simple)
15. Statistical view: Graphical representation of the character distribution. Helps to identify the data-type of a selection.
16. Support for ANSI, DOS/IBM-ASCII, EBCDIC and Macintosh charsets
17. Byte grouping (1, 2, 4, 8 or 16 bytes packed together in one column)
18. Hex only or text only mode
19. Progress-window displays on long time operations (shows remaining time and has a cancel-button)
20. Unlimited undo
21. Modified data is highlighted
22. Internet update checker
23. Easy to use interface with modern icons
24. Ghost caret: displayed around the corresponding character/hex value on the inactive column, the caret is placed on the active column
25. Goto address
26. Printing
27. Overwrite or Insert Mode
28. Cut, Copy, Paste Insert, Paste Write
29. Clipboard support for other hex editors (Visual Studio/Visual C++, WinHex, HexWorkshop, ...)
30. Bookmarks: Ctrl+Shift+Number(0-9) sets a bookmark, Ctrl+Number(0-9) goes to a bookmark
31. Navigating to nibbles with Ctrl+Left or Ctrl+Right
32. Flicker free display and fast drawing

Enhancements:

• Bug fixes
• Saving files when HxD is closing effectively works only for the file in the active window.
• If BytesPerRow is larger than a certain amount, characters in the hex editor overlap.
• Opening "My Network Places" in any open or save file dialog could crash HxD, depending on the Windows version. This was due to neutral language identifiers in the VersionInfo which the OS does not generally support.

Requirements: none
