  1. Disk No: 2249                                                           
  2. Disk Title: FX - File eXaminer                                          
  3. PC-SIG Version: S1.1                                                    
  4.                                                                         
  5. Program Title: FX - File eXaminer                                       
  6. Author Version: 1.1                                                     
  7. Author Registration: $30.00                                             
  8. Special Requirements: DOS 3.0 or above.

  10. This program can be used by the novice to view any file, or by more     
  11. experienced users to decipher, analyze, and understand file formats.    
  12.                                                                         
  13. FX is a "byte-level" word processor. Scroll through any DOS file,       
  14. (even damaged files). Request that the display be formatted in any of   
  15. seven ways (any mix of ASCII, hexadecimal or decimal).                  
  16.                                                                         
  17. An important, and unique, feature is the "Numeric Display" that         
  18. appears at the top center of the screen. Many database and word         
  19. processing files contain integers and long integers in the file to      
  20. indicate the number of records, offsets of certain information in the   
  21. file, etc. FX continuously displays this information (the values of     
  22. the byte, integer and long integer) in decimal, hexadecimal or binary,  
  23. in both signed and unsigned forms. Without this feature, it can be      
  24. tiresome to calculate this by hand, since the bytes are physically      
  25. stored in reverse order.                                                
  26.                                                                         
  27. Any possible series of file bytes can be located, counted or modified   
  28. using FX, including ASCII 0.                                            
  29.                                                                         
  30. FX has the built-in ability to automatically optimize its formatting    
  31. parameters for dBASE database files, creating a binary "browse" for     
  32. both the header AND data areas.
