Given that the values 0 to 9 are directly followed by 10 to 19, I'd say 
chances are it's perfectly decimal...

FileHippo has a tool that sits in the tray and checks for updates to 
installed software. Google has something similar, but just for their own 
apps. Normally I would automatically categorize such a program as 
spyware, but it is surprisingly unintrusive. It can be configured to 
check automatically or manually only when you want it to, and the 
results are loaded in a web page so you can compare your own version 
number with the version number of the update. It also accurately detects 
tons of software (including 7zip), and lists beta versions in a separate 
list.

In Vista it can be annoying because it triggers UAC when it does its 
checking.

Well, I *did* implement a primitive hex dump program to allow me to read 
the raw binary contents of the file, and also a second program capable 
of locating the file chunks and parsing some of them in human-readable form.

But no, I didn't get as far as writing a DEFLATE decoder. :-P

On Unix, use 'xxd' or 'od'.

On Windows, get Hex Workshop (shareware). It even *comes* with a structure
file for zip archives.

I've looked at several hex editors for Windows. All of them are either 
shareware or just plain rubbish. I've yet to find a really good one.
