Overview

XVI32 is a freeware hex editor running under Windows 9x/NT/2000/XP/Vista/7. The name XVI32 is derived from XVI, the roman notation for the number 16. XVI32 and all of its components are developed by myself.

The current release 2.55 is available since June 26, 2012. It comes with a complete online help and requires only 1.02 MB of hard disk space. There is no setup program needed - just unzip the downloaded archive to your hard disk! XVI32 doesn't write any data to your registry.

XVI32 is used by thousands of people all over the world. It was included in books like the Hacker's Guide. Even people at Microsoft ™ do use XVI32! If you don't believe me, look at http://support.microsoft.com/kb/835840/EN-GB/.

XVI32 is freeware. However, if you like XVI32, want to appreciate my work, and/or support the development, I would be pleased to receive a donation from you via PayPal. The suggested amount to donate is US$ 25 or 20 EUR. However, any amount, higher or lower, is appreciated.

Today, XVI32 is a valuable tool for thousands of people all over the world. On January 31, 2011 reviewer Woof wrote at Softpedia:

This app ROCKS. I've used this at work (and am downloading now for home use) to open text files and replace Hex characters, view hidden characters in files - and I've not even scratched the surface... I wish I could have used this more before I wrote this review but I just wanted people to know that it is one of the best applications that I've used and it should be shareware. I wish I had the money to donate to the person(s) who have obviously spent a LOT of time working on this app. Thanks for an AWESOME application!!!

This is a thread from the alt.comp.freeware newsgroup (May 2001):

And this e-mail was sent on October 11, 2001 by an employee of SPSS Inc., the major statistical software company: Your tool was EXACTLY what me and a friend needed to reformat huge text files correctly. This XVI tool ROCKS!!! Thanks for making it! :-)

You can read even more feedbacks or this nice story. If you don't know what a hex editor is and why some people need such a tool, have a look at my short explanation. If you have any questions or comments, feel free to contact the author. Before writing your mail, please read the following guidelines.

Features

XVI32 has the following main features. Especially note the highlighted advantages of XVI32.
  • XVI32 is a portable application, i.e. no setup program is needed, you can run XVI32 from your USB stick, no data is written to the registry
  • 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

  • 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)
  • Menu item Shredder data to overwrite all bytes of a file with binary zeroes
  • 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)

What's New in version 2.55:

  • When pasting hex strings from the clipboard, separation of hex chars with spaces is no longer mandatory, e.g. both 0D 0A as well as 0D0A is now valid. This refers to dialogs (search, replace and so on) and the menu item Edit | Clipboard | Paste from hex string. Note: the formats can't be mixed (e.g. 0D 0A00FF is not allowed, the format must be either 0D 0A 00 FF, either 0D0A00FF).
  • Shortcuts for menu items File | Close (Ctrl+F4), File | Save As (F12), Address | Remember Address (Ctrl+Alt+R), Address | Goto Remembered (Ctrl+Alt+G), Tools | Options (Ctrl+Alt+O).
  • Bugfix: Backspace now works within an hex input field when the whole hex string is selected.
  • Bugfix: Invoking CHM help file now works when starting XVI32 outside its own directory.
