Looks great "Previously known as Guest" but the link doesn't work anymore.

I tried downloading it from its homepage and couldn't get the binary to go in Puppy2.16.
How did you build your .pup?

i.hex looks nice and light and not so heavy to install as Adie or other hex editors I have seen.

Thanks,
Updated link.
I'm not sure now what exactly I did. I packaged the pup with Puppy 2.12 or 2.13 & tested through 3.01 & seems to work OK.

i.hex locks up when I try to use it. It locked up first trying to edit a file and the next time on trying to open a file.
I am getting version error info on various lib files when I try to run it from a terminal. I am running Puppy 3.01 with 384megs ram full hard drive install.
I would include the text from the terminal, but I do not know the keyboard hot keys for cut and paste to copy it to this message.

Hi 8-bit,

if you just drag your mouse cursor, over whatever terminal text you want to copy, then you can paste the text to the forum by pressing Control and v keys together.

OK, here goes. This is what I get on starting i.Hex from terminal.

# ihex
/usr/local/ihex-0.91/ihex: /usr/lib/libstdc++.so.6: no version information available (required by /usr/local/ihex-0.91/ihex)

GFile::Open failed
open(/usr/local/ihex-0.91/ihex.r,00000000) = -1
errno=ENOENT (No such file or directory)

It does come up but locks solid at various stages and I have to kill it because close doesn't work.
Also, after right clicking on the taskbar button for it and killing it there, it still appears in top as still running with 2 entries.

Updated another link in first post.
I see it has been updated to 0.95, but have similar errors as posted above & haven't had time to look into specifics. I'll get to it, or maybe someone else will beat me to it.

Crashes for me too. I haven't debugged it.

I've migrated to mickey hex editor for my needs:
http://linux.softpedia.com/get/Text-Edi ... 3423.shtml

The binary works straight away in Puppy. Its not as nice looking as ihex but at least it works.

Where's the source, dude? Give us a link to the sources and we can make this thing work for all versions...

i like that you can view the decimal version [oct and bin too] at least, i would rate it as my second favorite

To (sort of) answer my own question, I found this hexedit
ftp://metalab.unc.edu/pub/Linux/apps/editors/terminal/
I also found another one in the debian repos:
http://packages.debian.org/stable/editors/hexedit

If you like colored ncurses screens(like mc), you'll enjoy the first one more. The one in debian is a little newer, but I had no trouble compiling either one.

A belated response, yes it works for me with quirky 1.2.0, no crashes, I used it to edit chrome so that it runs as root.

Whow, totally forgot about that one... Nice it works. Seems to be the last linux release.

aragon,

yes it works quite well, I noticed there was no help files so I downloaded them but when I copied them to the ihex directory

and tried to view them with the help button nothing happened, so i have modified the the help so now it does.

I made a script and called it index.html which then runs the defaultbrowser and opens the the real index.html in a sub directory.

I just guessed that it might work, lucky guess :wink:
