It's a good editor, but you don't need Ultraedit or the like for this. You just need something that can display binary files.
I use an old but still handy tool called WnBrowse. It's not an editor at all -- it's a file
viewer. It handles ASCII and EBCDIC text and binary files. If it thinks its a text file, it will display it as text. If not, it will display it in hex. You can associate a real text editor and hex editor to be called from WnBrowse if you need to edit the file you are viewing. (I like Notepad++ as text editor.) After installation, it installs a Browse choice on the right-click context menu in Explorer, and can be called on whatever file you like.
WnBrowse is freeware from Nigel Thomas, available here:
