Re: Xywrite file is there, but suddenly invisible

> That was a good suggestion from Myron.?? It has to show whatever is there, in its entirety.?? There must be some free ones you could download and try out.??

	www.alternativeto.net

    crowd-ranked alternatives to popular
    software. Some good, uneven suggestions.

    Also see Wikipedia for the Category of software,
    Hex editors, Text Editors, Word processors etc.

>
> My longtime file manager program ZTree-Win has a Hex editor built in as one of its View options.?? It's a great file manager, but not free.?? I would imagine that some of the others in that category may have a similar capability, though I think they are also not free.?? I just mention that in case you happened to already have one.?? Names that come to mind are Total Commander and XyPlorer.?? (No relation to us, purely coincidental.)?? I seemed to recall that Total Commander had some look-alike / work-alike alternatives, one or two of which could be free.??
	ZtreeWin has a 30 day trial and nagware.
    See http://www.ztree.com/
    and narrowly http://www.ztree.com/html/ztreewin.htm

	Many people who used Xtree in ye olde days followed
    along to a work-alike successor in Ztree
    What happened to Xtree? See http://www.jeffreycjohnson.com/
    from the creator.

    Lots of screenshots and lists of features on the Ztree pages.
    A good-for-its-type File Manager
	You might try Gnu Midnight Commander, or Double Commander

	Not a lot of revision for the past few years but
    there is support and at
    http://www.ztree.com/html/links.htm
     there are forums and such

	As Jordan said, ZtreeWin also has a Gather function

  Gather     - Mark a range of lines in the viewer to be saved to a
           file, printed, or copied to the Windows Clipboard.
           After pressing "G" to gather, the following keys are
           used to perform each stage of the gather operation.

           Choose the gather start point:
            Up/Down - Position the highlight to the first line to
                 be gathered.
            Home/End - Position the highlight to begin the gather
                 at the beginning or end of the file.
            F2    - Clear the Windows Clipboard.
            F4    - Copy a single line to the Windows
                 Clipboard.
            F5    - Append a single line to the Windows
                 Clipboard.
            F6    - Set the gap between the last line in the
                 destination file and the lines which will
                 be appended.
            Esc   - Exit the gather operation without copying
                 any lines.
            Enter  - Mark the beginning of a group of lines to
                 be gathered.

           Choose the gather end point:
            Up/Down - Position the highlight to the last line to
                 be gathered.
            Home/End - Position the highlight to gather to the
                 beginning or end of the file.
            F2    - Clear the Windows Clipboard.
            F4    - Copy the highlighted lines to the Windows
                 Clipboard.
            F5    - Append the highlighted lines to the Windows
                 Clipboard.

> The file manager approach could be like reaching for one of those larger Swiss Army knives though, where some small standalone module would be all that's needed.?? It would not totally shock me if Carl had put something into U2 that called a free, lightweight Hex viewer, but this was not yet general knowledge ??? That's not necessarily a suggestion, Carl.?? A need for this is likely rather infrequent, and I suppose you always have to consider whether the next addition might render the whole library too large or unwieldy. ??
