It's true, the staff at AllAboutSymbian do love OPL (and Python, but that's another story for Jim to tell!). Presenting HexView for the Nokia 9300/9500, a full hexadecimal file viewer/editor. Steve Litchfield needed the tool at 7.30pm and asked Psion Series 5 author John Boyce if he could send over his old (1997) Psion OPL hex-editing code. John said yes and (despite the technical nature of the app) it took a grand total of one hour to massage it into a working Communicator application. Now that's what I call portable source code. You can download Hexview here and read more about OPL here.
Hex-editing and the wonders of OPL

Your wish is my command. Well, the System/ROM folders, at least. See v0.2 8-)

Err... this was slowing the app down, so it's now optional to browse these. Also stopped it exiting when switched away from the foreground.
Now on v0.3 8-)))

tx for the fast help !
one thing more - while browsing on the hex or asci side the cursor on the oposite side is not visible - so i jump all the time back and forth to see where i am (compared to the other side)! (hope you understand 😊 )
