Wasn't that the bomb? :) Haven't thought of that one in a while. I was definitely the bomb in its day. I think we had a site license as I recall piles of the spiral bound user manuals and floppies. I still remember the developer's name (Vernon D Buerg) as it seems to be inexorably etched in my memory somewhere. I went so far as to rename it to l.com and that was my most commonly typed command for sure back then. You made me go look at what may have happened to it :-] Seems that although Vern Buerg passed on, it has spawned a descendent- http://www.bizer.com/zblist/ -----Original Message----- From: Crawford, Scott [mailto:[email protected]] Sent: Friday, April 29, 2011 10:20 AM To: NT System Admin Issues Subject: RE: Hex viewer? I'll second UltraEdit. I'm not positive how it reads the files; It does slow down opening large files. But, it doesn't load all of the file into memory since I've had files larger than memory opened. I was just thinking of list.com a few weeks ago.

Hey all, Can anyone recommend a good hex viewer that can handle files of arbitrary size (i.e., doesn't read the whole file into memory at once)? All I'm looking for is a table of byte values with offsets on the left and ASCII interpretation on the right. If anyone remembers the "hex view" mode of Vern Buerg's venerable LIST.COM program from the days of DOS, that's exactly what I'm looking for, except for Win32. (I've got a 166 MB text file extracted from an ancient database table. All the utilities I've thrown at it appear to think it consists of one line roughly 170 million characters wide. There must be some kind of record separator, but I can't figure out what it is. Or maybe it's fixed-length, but then I need to view it to determine the length.) I've done the Google, but there are a great many possibilities, hence my desire for a recommendation from people I know. :) -- Ben ~ Finally, powerful endpoint security that ISN'T a resource hog! ~ ~ <http://www.sunbeltsoftware.com/Business/VIPRE-Enterprise/> ~ --- To manage subscriptions click here: http://lyris.sunbelt-software.com/read/my_forums/ or send an email to [email protected] with the body: unsubscribe ntsysadmin ~ Finally, powerful endpoint security that ISN'T a resource hog! ~ ~ <http://www.sunbeltsoftware.com/Business/VIPRE-Enterprise/> ~ --- To manage subscriptions click here: http://lyris.sunbelt-software.com/read/my_forums/ or send an email to [email protected] with the body: unsubscribe ntsysadmin ~ Finally, powerful endpoint security that ISN'T a resource hog! ~ ~ <http://www.sunbeltsoftware.com/Business/VIPRE-Enterprise/> ~ --- To manage subscriptions click here: http://lyris.sunbelt-software.com/read/my_forums/ or send an email to [email protected] with the body: unsubscribe ntsysadmin ~ Finally, powerful endpoint security that ISN'T a resource hog! ~ ~ <http://www.sunbeltsoftware.com/Business/VIPRE-Enterprise/> ~ --- To manage subscriptions click here: http://lyris.sunbelt-software.com/read/my_forums/ or send an email to [email protected] with the body: unsubscribe ntsysadmin
