Re: The memory window

[Rick Moseley <rmoseley at redhat dot com>]

That looks nice Mike!  Good work there.

I was thinking there needs to be some way to easily determine in what 
format the data is being displayed and make it pretty easy to change 
formats, preferably, IMHO, from the main screen.  Maybe there could be 
tabs with a view showing each format(dec, hex, oct, etc.).  Maybe these 
tabs could be "tear-away" where a user could look at 2 or more formats 
simultaneously?

Just my 2¢.
