Paolo Amoroso's Journal

Insphex adds the Hexdump item to the File Browser menu to view the hex dump of the selected files. The initial implementation called the public API for adding commands at the top level of the menu.

To later move the item to the See sumbenu that groups various file viewing commands I resorted to list surgery, as the API doesn't support submenus. The problem is internal system details can and do change, which happened to the File Browser menu and led to an Insphex load error.

I fixed the issue by reverting the public API call and now the item is back at the top level of the menu.

Insphex is a hex dump tool similar to the Linux command hexdump. I wrote it in Common Lisp on Medley Interlisp.
