[comp.emacs] Editing binary files in hex

cloos@acsu.buffalo.edu (James H. Cloos) (10/06/90)

Hello,

I have some files here that I need to look at & edit in hex-dump
format.  I was wondering if there was either a emacs mode or a good
hex_dump_editor out there?

(I've heard of bed (by Stephen Muir, Lancaster Univ.) & tried it on
one of my files on another system (where it is installed) but my files
are reverse-field, nybble based, and the result was difficult to use.
(Though, I suppose if it is copyable, I could rewrite parts of it so
that it would work with my files, but a dedicated emacs mode would be
preferable.)

Any help is well appreciated.
