Thread: Hex Editor XVI32

*Overview*
XVI32 is a freeware hex editor running under Windows 95, Windows 98, Windows NT, Windows 2000, and Windows XP. The name XVI32 is derived from XVI, the roman notation for the number 16. XVI32 and all of its components are developed by myself (except for RxPopupMenu from RxLib which I'm using since version 1.6).

Even people at Microsoft ™ do use XVI32! If you don't believe me, look at Data recovery.

Today, XVI32 is a valuable tool for thousands of people all over the world.

XVI32 has the following main features. Especially note the highlighted advantages of XVI32.
