uHex is a simple and fast, multiplatform hex editor. It's primarily written for DOS, but compiles on POSIX just as well. uHex has been written with care to work fast even on an 8086 CPU, providing support for large files (up to 2 GiB) while using minimal amounts of memory. "uHex" stands for "micro Hex" (it should actually be spelled µHex, but DOS operating systems do not allow non-ASCII symbols in filenames, thus the official name became just "uHex"). uHex supports several video text modes (80x25, 80x43, 80x50.. and any other, as long as it has at least 80 columns), both in color and black & white modes. Hardware requirements (DOS version) uHex has very low requirements. It runs on anything that provides: - an 8086/8088 compatible CPU, - a MS-DOS 2.0 compatible operating system, - ca. 20K of free conventional memory, - an 80 columns video mode.

Here is a c_version of Thomas Bleeker's pnglib 1.0, a free graphy library. His site is https://www.madwizard.org/programming/projects/pnglib Thomas's original code is x86-asm. She(the code) can read and display PNG images in programs, and link without Zlib. With the author's permission, Leisure bamboo translate her to c. So she can be compile by turbo c 2.0, borland c 4.5, visual c 6.0, keil c51 7.5, or others. Some(not all) plainform where she can run, as below: 1)dosbox, see about her in sample.tc2. dpmi.bc4; 2)window, see about her in sample.bc4, dpmi.bc4, sample.vc6; 3)c51's uv2 simulator, see about her in sample.uv2; 4)arm singlechip, that is cino f780 barcode scanner. She can decompress apng(Animated PNG) now, There are some demo file 01.png, 04.png ... 32.png in root folder. She is small(12k for vc6, 32bit code; 21k for bc4, 32bit code; 27k for tc2, 16bit code) and beautiful.
