hex editors

[Igor Gueths]

Hi all,
can anyone recommend a good hex editor that works decently with Speakup? So far
I've tried Hexcurse (for some reason deleting modifications isn't currently
working for me but it tracks fairly well), Dhex and Shed both of which didn't
get along with Speakup at all as far as cursor tracking is concerned). Vim's
so-called "hex editing" mode via streaming its buffer through xxd does seem to
work, although I can't get it to write out a modified file in binary
(research seems to indicate that it will only rewrite out binary files for those
that only have a .bin extension), which isn't quite ideal either. So if anyone
has any suggestions/ideas, they would be much appreciated. Thanks!

	Hello.  There is an old program called bed which will reformat a binary
file into what ever format you want, i.e. hex, octal, with various word
lengths.  It then opens the file with your favorite editor, allowing you to
use vim, ed or something else to edit the file.  Once done, it will convert
the file back to the original format with your changes.
Search for "bed binary editor" in google to find it.  If you have trouble
downloading it, let me know and I can probably make a link.
