Is this named after the old BASIC command "poke" on micros of the 80s?
This program looks pretty awesome and seems to fit into a use-case that I frequently want. I've usually just consigned myself to using standard hex editors, sometimes little bits of Python to wrangle whatever data I'm trying to manage.
- nocman 6y agoThat was the first thing that came to mind for me. Shouldn't it also have a companion utility named peek? :-D
- Brian_K_White 6y agoIf you combime poke and peek you could get "poek" still pronounced poke, and also have a little allusion to elegance by being almost "poet". Honestly I don't suggest that, just having fun. Simple is good in a name. Then again, so is a unique search term.
- adamrezich 6y agoSounds like a better version of the old MS-DOS DEBUG.EXE to me, which for some reason I saw fit to use on explorer.exe on my dad's old WinBook XP running Windows 95 back in the day...
