About FlexEdit

 is a graphical file editor or viewer with powerful features, including the ability to display multiple windows, search across multiple buffers, and emulate other editors using a keymap file. With a Multiple Document Interface (MDI) and detachable window modes, it is possible to view different files in separate windows, or different sections of the same file in multiple windows. It provides a very fast and flexible tool for viewing or editing files in either text or hex displays.
