HEXDUMP
		(by Eric S. Raymond <esr@thyrsus.com>)

This hex dumper was born because

	a) od octal format is appallingly ugly
	b) od -x ain't much better
	c) I needed to dump EBCDIC files from SNA sessions
	d) I needed to dump single blocks of files offset into the file.

If any of these describes your universe, you'll like it too. The format
resembles a CP/M or MS/DOS DEBUG dump screen. There is nothing UNIX-specific
in the source, it should work OK under any C with a stdio.h library. And,
in fact, I'm told it has been used under Windows NT.

I wrote the original of this in 1983.  I'm not certain, but I think it
may have been my very first C program, and I believe it was the first
code I wrote under Unix (4.1BSD on a Vax).  It's certainly the oldest
piece of C code I wrote that I still have source for.  It has held
up remarkably well.  For many years it was just `hex'.
