0xED Cocoa Hex editor

What should we call it then? 0355? 237? Or perhaps 1101101? Though I'd hate to be caught in the situation of having to actually speak the name. So many possibilities! Not much chance in this online world I suppose. :-D

IMHO, I would vote to stick with the 0xED name - clever moniker. And to jc: any developer working with binary files would find this app useful - I use it all of the time to analyze and troubleshoot binary data files. As for non-developers, well... Argh. I guess. BTW, I'll have to try out hex fiend - 0xED is a bit pokey with large files. THX for the tip!

Hex Fiend all the way, baby.

Count me in on the Hex Fiend fan list. You can judge this app by its icon!

Agreed -- HexFiend ( http://ridiculousfish.com/hexfiend/ ) is a better editor.

In my view, Free Open Source Software is much better than any closed proprietary app (even if the app is offered for free).

Love the 0xED name, but I still like Hex Fiend better as an editor. (I don't use a hex editor much, but when I do it's often on hundred-gig drive captures trying to find copies of the NTFS MFT or the FAT, so Hex Fiend's large-file smarts are wonderful.)

I think the name is brilliant.

*raises hand*. If you work with any sort of binary file (which you will, as a sysadmin), you will need to have a hex editor.

I've been using 0xED for a while. And no, the name does not need rethinking :P It's the best name for a hex editor out there.

Raise your hand if you'll be using this tool for non piracy related activities?

Anyone?? Anyone?? Bueller?

Awesome. It is a great editor, and the value display (with extensible plug-in architecture) is an excellent idea.

I like the name. The initial zero means it sits right at the top of my application list where it is easy to find. The pre-MacTheRipper DVD ripping programme 0SEx also had an initial zero. In this case, the "hex identifier" - 0x - is ideal to have in the name. 0xED = hex ed = hex editor. I like it.
