Free Hex Editor "frhed"

Submitted by NoTellin on January 19, 2007 - 3:21pm

frhed is a basic free hex editor available at: http://www.kibria.de/frhed.html

This is _not_ the malware with the same name.

Instead, it's free software released under the GPL and includes source. From the homepage:

    * Open Source! Distributed under GNU General Public License
    * Native 32 bit Windows application: long filenames supported, editable file size limited only by available system memory.
    * Small program size (ca. 100K), loads fast.
    * Cut, copy & paste binary values.

Read a Mac Disk/iPod

Submitted by dozzell on January 19, 2007 - 2:25am

Hi!

Is there /I would like an app that can read Mac formatted disks/iPods? Similar to Xplay/Xpod whatever it calls itself now?? Or is there another way of reading a Mac formatted iPod from windows?

Me and my girlfriend are travelling the world so never end up using the same computer twice, and the portable apps are really usefull when you can only get to shabby net cafes. Thing is, my iPod (which I use for the portable apps) is windows formatted, but stupidly, my girlfriend left hers formatted as a Mac so cant get more stuff on it - there arnt many Mac Cafe's.

Hello,

Is there an application like VMware for portable use. I can not install programs on my work, but I need linux.

Asset tag app

I don't know of any apps in existence that will do what I want. In the case that I lose my drive and someone finds it, I would like a simple app that is prominently displayed on the menu (perhaps as part of the menu itself) that gives the owner's contact info (phone, email, address) so the drive can be returned. I would even be satisfied if I could place a shortcut on the apps menu to a text file on the drive containing my contact info. I currently have said text file in the root folder of my drive, hoping that anyone who plugged it in would see it (it's simply named "If found read this").

Open Source Virtualization app

virtualbox.org

Announced they are going open source (they do say GPL on the web site). It may be a little premature in the development cycle for a portable version, but this looks like an alternative to QEMU, moka5, VMWare, and other similar applications.
