Toggle write protection - switch between read-only and read/write modes.

## 4.9.1. Searchbar

The searchbar is used to locate a specific value in the document. Enter a value in the box, select the desired representation (hexadecimal, octal, binary, decimal or text) and hit the Find button. Check the Backwards box to search backwards from the cursor point or check Ignore Case for a case-insensitive text search. Click the button on the right of the bar (X) to hide the searchbar; go to Searchbar in the Settings menu to restore it.

## 4.9.2. Conversion field

The conversion field displays the values of various datatypes at the selected byte. For 8 bit types, it displays the value of the byte under the cursor; for larger types, it displays the value starting at that byte. The rightmost column displays various encodings of the current byte. Options in the conversion field are:

Show little endian decoding

  When checked, causes multibyte types to be calculated using the little-endian method used by x86 and Alpha processors. In this scheme, the first byte represents the least significant part of the value. (0a 4e = 0x4e0a = 19978) When unchecked, causes multibyte types to be calculated using the big-endian method used by PowerPC and Sparc processors. (0a 4e = 0x0a4e = 2638)

Show unsigned as hexadecimal

  When checked, causes unsigned types to be displayed in hexadecimal, rather than decimal format.

Stream length

  Determines the number of bits used to calculate the values in the fields above it.

## 4.9.3. Status Bar

The status bar displays the following information:

Encoding/Selection

  When there is no selection, this field shows the encoding option used. (See View->Document Encoding for more information on encoding.) The start point and the length of the selection are shown.

File Modified

  A `!` in this box indicates the current file was modified.

Insert/Overwrite

  Indicates whether values entered at the keyboard are inserted at the cursor point (INS) or overwrite the existing data starting at the cursor(OVR). Use the Insert key to toggle betwen the two modes.

Size

  Displays the total size of the current document.

Offset

  Indicates the position of the cursor within the document.

Display mode

  Indicates whether data editor window is diplaying values in hexadecimal, octal, binary, decimal or text mode. Switch between modes with the View menu.

Write Protection

  Indicates whether the document can be edited (RW) or is being viewed read-only (R). Switch between modes with the button on the far-right of the toolbar or the Permissions command in the File menu.
