Software utility that operates on C/C++ data files using structure definitions. Allows easy display of sequential record data files if processing program and source code are available.
Another useful feature of this software is that it allows you to create structure definitions for "orphan" data files. In essence, this software makes a sequential file look like a database, with a series of fixed length records that can be displayed and scrolled through in a human-readable format.
To use this software, you need a record structure that describes the layout of the data file. This structure is obtained from C source code that contains the struct definition. The source structs are compiled, and then you can define or modify the structs within the software.
Once you have a record structure, the software displays the complete structure of the record in the grid header, with all nested structures delineated in their hierarchical positions. Field names are displayed in the header, and union members are sequenced by a mouse click on the (U) in front of the union name.
In addition to displaying the complete structure of the record, the software also allows you to display individual fields in three formats: native, ascii, or hex (binary). Different field types are best displayed in different formats, with dates and floats best understood in their native format, and char data best understood in ascii or hex. However, only the hex format can show what is in the entire field, making it the best representation of what's "really" in that field.
