Special Requirements: DOS 3.0 or above.                                 
                                                                        
This program can be used by the novice to view any file, or by more     
experienced users to decipher, analyze, and understand file formats.    
                                                                        
FX is a "byte-level" word processor. Scroll through any DOS file,       
(even damaged files). Request that the display be formatted in any of   
seven ways (any mix of ASCII, hexadecimal or decimal).                  
                                                                        
An important, and unique, feature is the "Numeric Display" that         
appears at the top center of the screen. Many database and word         
processing files contain integers and long integers in the file to      
indicate the number of records, offsets of certain information in the   
file, etc. FX continuously displays this information (the values of     
the byte, integer and long integer) in decimal, hexadecimal or binary,  
in both signed and unsigned forms. Without this feature, it can be      
tiresome to calculate this by hand, since the bytes are physically      
stored in reverse order.                                                
                                                                        
Any possible series of file bytes can be located, counted or modified   
using FX, including ASCII 0.                                            
                                                                        
FX has the built-in ability to automatically optimize its formatting    
parameters for dBASE database files, creating a binary "browse" for     
both the header AND data areas.
