I had a look at the DOSHEXED source code, because it doesn't have any user documentation. It reads "Added dosmem free check, wont load if document is greater than ramavail." So, it's definitely a limitation of DOSHEXED. Do we really need DOSHEXED in a FreeDOS distro, when we already have UHEX? UHEX is open source (2-clause BSD) and works even on a 808x processor. > leftover conventional memory (<1MiB).

Is there any other hex editor for FreeDOS, which works a lot better? Closed source, but my preferred hex editor in DOS or Win32: http://mklasson.com/hexit.php Cheers, Robert -- +++ BTTR Software +++ Home page: https://www.bttr-software.de/ DOS ain't dead: https://www.bttr-software.de/forum/ _______________________________________________ Freedos-user mailing list Freedos-user@lists.sourceforge.net https://lists.sourceforge.net/lists/listinfo/freedos-user
