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

* data inspector to view decoded numbers (see screen shot; can be turned off).
* Has built-in script interpreter.
* Easily works with huge files. Try to open a 60 MB sized text file with some other hex editor (not to speak about Wordpad), then use XVI32... If you don't have such a huge text file, use my freeware tool RndFile to create one
* XVI32 allows to edit files up to 2 GB (enough virtual memory provided, of course)
* For your convenience, XVI32 stores settings and last used search strings etc. in XVI32.INI file
* Progress indication in percent for most operations
* You can abort nearly all operations (reading/writing files, search, replace, print...)
* Display of both text (ASCII/ANSI) and hexadecimal representation
* Two synchronous cursors in text and hex area
* Fully resizeable window (change number of rows and columns)
* Font and font size adjustable
* Overwrite or insert characters
* Insert text or hex string n times
* Switch byte offset (address) of first byte between 0 or 1 to examine also record structure of plain text files
* Search text or hex string, e.g. find "this text" or find "0D 0A"
* Simplified search for Unicode Latin (UTF-16) strings
* Search optionally with joker (wildcard) char that will match any character, e.g. find "A.C" or "00 2E 2E 00" where "." = "2E" (user-defined) stands for any character
* Fast searching algorithm (Quicksearch) for both search directions (down/up)
* Count occurences of text or hex string
* Replace text or hex string, e.g. replace "0D 0A" by "0A" or replace "0D 0A" by text "EOL"
* Extremely fast "replace all" mode (if needed, additional memory is allocated beforehead, not at every single replacing operation)
* Auto-fill feature to copy bytes from current address into input field for hex string using right arrow key
* Character conversion using self-defined character table
* Easy converting of text to hex string in dialogs (e.g. "abc" -> "61 62 63")
* Decoding and encoding of 1, 2, 4, and 8 byte integers or 4/8 byte floats in 2 possible byte orders
* Bit manipulation (view or set bits)
* Open file in Read Only Mode (e.g. if opened by another application or to avoid unintentional modifications)
* Insert file contents into file
* Write block to file
* Copy, move or delete block
* Clipboard support
* Goto address (absolute or relative up/down)
* Up to 9 named bookmarks
* Enter jump width and jump up/down (useful for files with fixed record length)
* Patch BORLAND PASCAL 7.0 EXE files for execution on processors > 200 MHz
* Printing with preview or print to file
* Simplified search for Unicode Latin (UTF-16) strings
* Wheel mouse support
* Command "Reload" to open current file again
* Easily access most recently used files
* No setup programm needed, doesn't write any data to registry
* And last, but not least: XVI32 is free!
