Ultra File Opener uses a smart detection mechanism to determine a file type and to display the contents.  When you open a file that UFO does not recognize, the Hex Viewer opens with the hexadecimal content - a human friendly notation that represents binary values used in computing and digital electronic languages -  displayed in the view area.  Refer to the Viewer page for an example.  Like the other Viewers Hex Viewer has it's own status bar and menu bar options.  All the file functions are controlled here.  We will start with the status bar.
