  Is there anything out there that will allow editing of a non-ASCII file in a
nice straightforward manner?  (For those of you on IBM (Yeuch!) PC's, I'm
looking for something that behaves similar to the DUMP format screen of the
Norton Utilities NU.)  Something that will not try to interpret the file, but
will let me go in an toggle bits to my hearts content without getting all bent
out of shape about it.  Maybe a display in hex on the left and ASCII on the
right, or toggle between different windows.  It doesn't have to be cursor
controled as long as the commands are fairly logical.  The DEC-10 used to have
something like that.  I think it was called BITED and it looked like a poor
man's SOS for binary files, but it did the job.
  Thanx.
