Wondering if anybody can give personal experience with a linux-based
flexible file viewer.
The file in question is a mixed binary/ascii (yes ascii, not utf-8)
format from a DOS program. It appears that financial data and dates are
encoded as binaries, probably to save space, and that would mean there
are also pointers in there. I've got to identify about 4 important
fields and pull them out.
I've done jobs like this plenty of times, but not since my fox days, and
fox was pretty good with stuff like this. I've never had to do it with
*nix tools.
I'm aware that there are plenty of hex viewers out there, what i'm
hoping for is that somebody has done something similar or close and can
recommend a good viewer from personal experience.
