As for me, I was always looking for some "powerful" viewer of binary files. All viewers that I had in 1995 year did not satisfy me. Neither famous HIEW, neither QVIEW or something else did not contain more than 50% of needed features. And so, tired to wait when their authors would write a viewer, which can display any information without any problem about any executable file, I wrote BIEW. Though it looks like as those viewers that I already have had (of course: I borrowed some ideas), but I think that it's easier and more modeless, besides I tried to make easy access to different information stored in file. Nowdays, BIEW conjoins PIII disassembler, TDUMP (without possibility of viewing .obj as OMF), EXEHDR, DUMPEXE, NewExe Disasm, and also quite good text viewer with russian codepage convertor, and so on. However, I do not want to compete with any other authors. More over, I'm thankful to them, their programs pushed me on this heroical step - to carry out my own ideas. Basicaly, I wrote the BIEW for myself and my friends, and if somebody else appreciated it - good luck.
