Useful for debugging problems with object code +or encodings. Also used by kids who cheat at computer games, by adding +score or lives to saved games. + +Optional dependency: yelp. Required for viewing the built-in help +(Help->Contents, or F1 key). Alternatively, an HTML version of the +help is included in /usr/doc/ghex-$VERSION/html/index.html for your +perusal (in English only, though). + +Note: Trying to copy/paste arbitrary binary data into or out of +ghex isn't going to work very well, because modern GTK+ insists the +copy buffer has to be UTF-8 encoded Unicode. The result is lots +of "\Uffffffff" (meaning "Invalid UTF-8") rather than the binary +data. There's nothing we can do to fix this without major surgery. |
