great HEX utility

Pros
If you handle files from more than one platform then you've probably encountered non-printing characters - this utility will help you find out what the problem is. l
Cons
It's a no-frills reader that's free. Not bad for the price!

Integrates well within explorer or other disk utils, just right click and you hex edit a file. Simple, elegant, effective. And free :)
