- Title: hdump-1.1.tgz
- Version: 1.1
- Entered-date: 25JAN96
- Description: File utilities
-
- hdump is a simple hex dump utility. I missed it badly from OS-9
- so I wrote my own. The difference between it on 'od' is the ascii
- dump side by side with the numeric dump. Makes it much easier to
- read a binary files contents.
-
- undump will take a hex dump created by dump and convert it back
- to a binary file. This is a very useful tool if you don't have
- access to a binary file editor. You may make patches to any binary
- file by redirecting the output of hdump to a file, useing a text
- editor on the file (editing only the hex values), then use undump
- to create the modified version.
-
- NOTE: undump will only work with HEX output from hdump or from the
- OS-9 dump utility.
