Hi, I like to use MS-DOS Edit to view and edit binary files, but I prefer to use Linux than Windows or DOS . When MS-DOS Edit opens a file in binary mode, it shows a character for each byte. The characters come from the Dos's character set (which comes from the system codepage or something). This "character" view takes up the whole editing space. The numeric value of the ...

GHex , the Gnome Hex Editor is pretty good. Not exactly the same display, but very intuitive.

Sorry to be opinionated, but the DOS thing you describe sounds unspeakably Mickey-Mouse. Every binary editing situation I have ever seen was the standard hex format--save maybe a few cases that were octal. Let's say you want to calculate file offsets in the DOS method---what is the equivalent of punching two values into a hex calculator?

hmm that's a shame. classic style hex editors are good except i'd like it if I had one that could show something other than a dot for non ascii bytes. To calculate multibyte values such as offsets, I normally would pull out my hand calculator and calculate them there (the low byte + 256 * the high byte) . It was extra work but the situation was actually quite workable and I always had a ...
