Heyo,
Can anyone suggest (and hopefully upload) a small text editor, and maybe a hex editor too please?
I'm just looking for something ultra small, a single file, doesn't save any config files, and which is cheap and cheerful. aka. a text editor.

I use HexEdit 1.1 from Dirk Sabiwalsky. Unfortunately the version I have is only in German.

I used to use a small desk accessory called Diary for my text editing - had a few bugs iirc, but mostly it was sweet and simple.
Hex editors, well... KnifeST?

Antic's Disk Doctor - still use it to this day when on the ST. Very simple to use for hex-editing files and having a look around. Will upload it later on tonight assuming my ISP doesn't keep me holding on for ages whilst I give them questions which their scripted answers won't be able to cover

Here it is translated to English. No formatting changes, just words. Anyone know how to shorten the spacing on the menu item "Edit"?

Change the spaces ($20) to a $00 as that will denotes end of string.

This won't change much. The Edit menu item is an AES G_TITLE object that has its width inscribed, it doesn't care about the string length.
Use a resource editor to change that.

Can a Resource Editor change objects embedded in a .PRG file and not a .RSC?

No. If this is the case, you need to find the G_TITLE object in the executable (challenging) and adjust its width with your hex editor.

Ah, well this is ok since it is only aesthetic. The program is translated anyway.
