GNUmacs: M-x hexlify-buffer
(load emacs; hit the {Esc} key, then the "x" key and then
type hexlify-buffer (or type 'hex{Tab} to invoke emacs
function-name completion).
Or look for beav (Binary Editor And Viewer) which is a
Linux package -- or a DOS package that's been ported to
Linux (I don't know if there's a FreeBSD port).
Finally you could use 'hexdump' to create a temp file,
vi to edit it, and something to convert it back (ugly).
Obviously if you already have GNUmacs and know the basics that's
the most painless.
