Very true, April. OTOH we all know those huge apps doing about
anything(and perhaps nothing too well), including taking a week for
loading. So in the end the regular user will prefer a dedicated app
while the less regular user prefers the known environment over
sophisticated functionality.

Lister, the file viewer in Total Commander, can switch between
several modes, including hex, text, HTML, graphic. It is also
available separately for free, and there's a plug-in allowing to
convert it into an editor. Haven't used this plug-in since ages,
though I doubt it can hex edit, too. So it is but half of what you'd
like to have. Best use of Lister is, of course, within Total
Commander where a single key stroke brings it up displaying the
selected files, or set up as viewer in other apps, eg for dangerous
email attachments.
Have a great day!

Which of the two? Or is there but one cat? <GG>
