<description><![CDATA[Well, FWIW I seldom need or use a hex editor - so seldom I've no motivation to take the time to check out what I'm sure are many excellent alternatives posted in the comments. Hex Editor II on-the-other-hand is here, it's free, it makes almost no impact on my system installing it, so I'm keeping it at least until the next time I have a use for a hex editor, which frankly may be several months from now. In my opinion a hex editor just isn't something most people ever have a need for, but thanks GOTD none-the-less.]]></description>

<description><![CDATA[I'm disturbed by the amount of negative votes on comments by people who actually try the software, apparently just because they found it lacking.  It's starting to get ridiculous.  Comparing how software stands up to typical standards of the industry is LEGITIMATE criticism.  It actually HELPS the developers, as do legitimate comments on their pricing structure.  The comments of those who actually understand the software - and therefore how it compares to others of the same type - are the ones that are the most useful.  It appears that a lot of the people here either have a ridiculously narrow view of what is an exceptable comment or are so scared GOTD will fold up over the slightest criticism that they feel they must be sycophants.  Let me make your life easier:  GREAT GIVEAWAY GOTD.  Now you never need to post again.  Don't get me wrong.  Most who say that actually have tried the software and actually mean it.  To the rest of the sycophants, my suggestion:  go stick your tongue out at the mirror.  There you'll see the face of the only person who cares.

One quick note to the two folks who recommend Hex Editor Neo I'm inclined to bow to your opinion, BUT, (Yes, I know what I'm about to say doesn't have anything to do with Hex Editor II, but it arises out of VALID recommendations, and might even lead some back to Hex Editor II.) when I looked on their website I saw only one review on thier review page.    A couple sentences from some user named Peter and the first 10 links on their award page point mostly to download services that don't seem to have awarded any stars one way or the other.  Also, more than one has Peter's identical review.  There are a lot of phony awards out there and this would normally make me slightly supicious.  Maybe the Neo developers just don't know the best way to sell their product.

And to Authorized User - who unfortunately probably won't see this - 010 Editor looks like it might be a reasonable compromise for you.  Have you already tried it?]]></description>

<description><![CDATA[#43, this is a Hex editor and can open any type of file.  This said don't expect to play a mp3 with it or photoshop anything, it will just display the file in hex and allow you to make modifications as such.

I use the aforementioned UltraEdit-32, <a>www.ultraedit.com</a>, as it does nice things like auto tab and color code in realtime.  I'm sure there are other good editors out there, but this (IMHO) is not one of them.]]></description>

<description><![CDATA[Just wanted to see a Hex editor ..."that helps an average PC user edit large files."

As I have never, since my CP/M/DOS days, seen an "average user" who needs to edit hex files large or small.

I liked Apedit--but the install on my machines left itself a trial. :(

Thanks to all those who suggest alternatives.

And, as always, thanks GAOTD!]]></description>

<description><![CDATA[Thanks GOTD, you provide a bold and valuable service, to far more folks than most critics here seem to be aware. ;]

I recently shopped around for a hex editor I could use (probably only once, since I almost never need these) to filter and analyze a huge dump from a registry cleaner. The dump itself was an encoded mess, and over 2GB. Hex Editor II was fast, but it just didn't help in the least, which was typical of my frustrating, random sampling of freeware and trial-ware. 

..that is until I found HHD's Hex Editor Neo (with whom I have no affiliation): http://www.hhdsoftware.com/Family/hex-editor.html

Although I had no practical reason to buy the standard version of Neo (US$29.99), like Jedi #18 I'm impressed enough with their freeware/trialware packaging that I thought they deserved another mention. 

First of all, FWIW, their WEBsite is professional, very nicely done; that was promising. They have FOUR versions (I wondered why at first, esp their Ultimate version for $129.99! gulp). But one version was freeware, so I gave it a go. The freeware version instantly impressed me, very fast with a 2GB file. At first all features appeared to be enabled so I got a quick sense of Neo's vast capabilities, as well as a vague sense of why a professional micro-coder would not only need but maybe CRAVE the ultimate version. When I tried using some advanced features, it respectfully explained the freeware constraint and offered to start an optional 15-day trial period of all features. Not bad, imho. Sure enough I soon found the features I needed: simple find/replace and mostly filtering and indexing, so I started my trial.

To prevent a longer story, let's just say filtering and indexing took some trial &amp; error but it was exactly what I needed. Kudos to HDD, both for their product and their licensing program. For the few and proud who either design or use most of its features, I can see why Neo probably would be one of my favorite tools too. 

As far as Hex Editor II, though, I would suggest they consider using Neo's features, licensing and especially its price points as a standard with which to initiate an improved strategy. Only my 2 cents..]]></description>
