I have a DOS program I need to modify. I need to be able to load an DOS EXE file, and hopefully using a gui, search for ascii text and 8 byte floating point numbers in INTEL format and modify them. Then when I write the file it still needs to be be executable.<br>

If it has a patch mode, where I can compare the patched version to the original and get a diff type output, I would really be happy.<br>

<br>
TIA for any suggestions.<br></blockquote><div><br></div></span><div>Hex editors that I like for Linux (in addition to what Roman said) are:<br><br></div><div>1.
