Hex Edit Pro was a good one in the past. They are somewhat out of fashion nowadays. It is shareware and can be purchased for $25.

I'm looking for a editor to dismantle and modify java applets mainly.

I know what people use hex editors for. I'm just not sure what quallifies for one. (After all, you can through anything into notepad. But it doesn't stick to the 16 characters used in hex.)

I've thought about taking a course in hex programming, is it worth it? Where would you use it?

I believe a hex editor allows you to edit complied code. If you look at it in a hex editor it basically looks like a huge spreadsheet with tons of hex numbers. Basically hex stands for hexadecimal, which you can look up. Beyond my knowledge but people use it for exactly what Busy mentioned.

I'm not sure what type of hex editor toneatlas is looking for. There are also HTML color editors. Obviously we use hex code for our color types (i.e. #FFFFFF). There are a bunch of hex color editors as well. Give tucows.com a try. They have a bunch of both types. Some of which are FREE.

A.X.E is a good one, problem is am not sure if the site is still going, the 'readme' details are:

program by: Benjamin Peterson
Mail: kahei at kahei dot com (replace 'at' and 'dot' for '@' and '.')
Web page: http://www.kahei.com

its free shareware, free rego to get rid of the nag screen.

Its only 280kb zipped if you cant find it and want it sent, let us know.

I'm sorry... what's a hex editor? anything like an ASCII editor?

Does Edit from DOS quallify? or Pico from Linux?
