Hexpress is a hex-editor.  A hex-editor can alter any type of file, but is
mostly useful for binary files; e.g EXEs ZIPs.  This is because 'NORMAL'
editors like DOS's 'EDIT' will not load up a binary file properly.

A hex-editor can also be used on SAVE files for games.  This means that
you can use it to CHEAT by allowing you to SEARCH for and EDIT key bytes
in the SAVE files.  This means that you can, for instance, change the amount
of money you have in a game.

--------------------------------------------------------------------

Once you've UNZIPed the HEXPRESS.ZIP file, you may like to copy 'hexpress.exe' 
to your '\WINDOWS\COMMAND' directory for WIN95 users, or to your '\DOS' 
directory for WIN3.X or DOS users.  This will allow you to use the hexpress 
program  from any directory. Also, it is strongly advised to USE THE 
PROGRAM ON A HARDISK.

Once everything is done - You can access HEXPRESS's HELP by RUNNING
HEXPRESS, by typing 'hexpress', then press F1.  Or you may use the menu,
by pressing F10.

HEXPRESS can run from WINDOWS, but it functions more SWIFTLY in DOS mode.

-------------------------------------------------------------------

$5 Australian to the author, IF you find the program USEFUL IN ANY WAY.
