Stuart Smith
We run our data centre on Linux servers but we have a file that has to be sent in EBCDIC. Of course, it is impossible to read EBCDIC on an ASCII machine. Hex Editor Neo allows me to do this AND even allows me to edit the file where necessary. I downloaded the free version to get me past the immediate hurdle but have found it so valuable that I am going to upgrade to the paid version.
Thanks so much for this great tool.
