KDE's Okteta - https://utils.kde.org/projects/okteta/ - nice and seems feature-rich - be aware of its "replace" vs. "insert/delete" modes. 2. https://wiki.gnome.org/Apps/Ghex - GNOME's GHex - easy to use but may not be too feature-rich. 3. Vim/GVim have a utility for binary editing of files called "xxd" - I don't have any real experience with it. Regards, -- Shlomi Fish P.S: Perhaps I should add a list of hex editors somewhere under http://www.shlomifish.org/open-source/resources/ (and I also want to add a list of GUI builders like glade). > > Geoff. > > -- > Geoffrey S.
