Robinson, III > > -----------== Posted via Deja News, The Discussion Network ==---------- > http://www.dejanews.com/ Search, Read, Discuss, or Start Your Own I am uncertain, myself... however - I suspect that to view a binary file in a text-editor would make for astronomically long documents... maybe... I have a couple of Hex editors.. one (with a rather innocuous application despite its name) is called HackMan - it lets you look at the binary code... I am uncertain why anyone would want to do so... as Hexadecimal seems to abbreviate things more conveniently.. but the software is free for download....
