Hi.
Is it possible to display and edit a txt file with hexadecimal presentation ?
Since a binary file is impossible to edit.

Many years ago I was using for binary editing (includding inserting, searching, changhing and deleting characters) an extension of the Ravitz Editor (Raved). Try to find it.

Hi Boldan.
Thank you, I've tried it now and it is a DOS editor.
However I've managed to find XVI32 which is a beautiful and free
hex-editor.

If you save/rename the file with a binary extension (".exe" e.g.), close it and reopen it with TextPad, it will show it in binary format

That doesn't allow you to edit though (maybe some day.. :)
Another hex editor worth looking at is frhed at
