Fast and Easy to Use
With our first version of Cygnus, our goal was to make the program very
fast and easy to use. We feel we were successful with this goal. With
version 2, our goal was to add many powerful new features while still
keeping the program fast and easy to use. This version was a long time
coming but, once again, we are proud to say we feel we have been
successful in our goals.
Cygnus MDI Tabbed Interface

Cygnus uses a tabbed multiple document interface (MDI), which means
that you can load multiple files side-by-side. This makes it incredibly
easy to quickly compare and share data between different files.
Data can be copied and moved using simple drag and drop operations.
Drag and drop refers to the processing of pressing the left mouse button
down, moving the mouse, and then releasing the mouse button. You can use
this technique to move data from one location to another. It can also be
used to move data between files and even between applications (when the
other application supports it).
Cygnus provides some features for protecting files that you open.
Because the program allows you to work with files such as executable files, you
will sometimes need to be careful not to make changes that would prevent
the file from working. However, Cygnus can also be used to quickly insert
and delete data as easily as with any word processor.
Cygnus with Data Inspector Window

The Data Inspector window makes it even easier to work with data. This
window allows you to view and edit data using natural data types. This
allows you to view and edit data in a more natural way when you know the
type of data being edited. For more information about the Data
Inspector window, please refer to the
Modifying Data
page.
Cygnus version 2 now contains more options that ever, allowing you to
customize the program to your tastes. The Options dialog box offers
several tabs of options. Screen shots of each tab are shown below.
