I didn't know that one yet. That is one of the few hex editor which has support for inserting tekst in an easy way. I see there is a cygwin verion but no windows version. So to clarify my motivations, a bit further, for patching vim: I would like to be able to use it on windows too. So a benefit of vim is the support for large files with inserting and a wide range of platform support. Editing in vim isn't as dedicated to hex editing as bvi and it is not my intention to make it that way. But scripts could easy the way of hex editing. Also at times, I like to see a file, I'm editing, in hex, so it would be easy to use the same editor for that. If you do a lot of hex editing/manipulations bvi seems like a nice editor. And I don't think my patches will replace it. regards, Peter -- You received this message from the "vim_dev" maillist. Do not top-post! Type your reply below the text you are replying to.
