Some people still use Hiew! How about now?

Heck I still use HIEW regularely for my MS-DOS Reversing. Even bought a license and never regretted it. Such a sweet tool!

Hiew is good/fast also due shortcuts. Here is easy-to-use list of shortcuts in various scenarios:

A "must reading" for Hiew users!

According to the notes, I'm about 23 years on this forum. What a huge amount of time passed!
Now the reversing community and the scene have changed a lot comparing to the beginning of millennia. I remember late 1990s with astalavista, leoworld, zor.org and others. With personal pages hosted on geocities and xoom with cjb.net redirector

I believe Hiew will never die. One maybe because of habit and two and more important - muscle memory .

Out of nostalgia induced due to this thread: I still remember kiddie RE using W32Dasm/Hiew, BoundsChecker and Borland Resource Workshop (aka BRW), and lame hacks using SubSeven/etc.
