Added: 28Sep2002

With this smart little utility you can view the binary contents of any file.

Drag & drop any file into the window and immediately view its contents
Show the contents in hexadecimal or decimal notation
Choose how many bytes per line will be shown
Each line contains a file position pointer, binary data and the ASCII (readable) representation of the binary data. It helps to quickly find positions or structures in the file.

You can use BinView to analyse unknown file formats, like database structures, application data files, executables, etcetera.
