Is there an easy way to make traditional CP/M style hex dumps from a file?
For example the above would be:

0000:0000 23 21 2F 62 69 6E 2F 62 : 61 73 68 0A 66 6F 72 20  #!/bin/bash.for

(which will probably get wrapped in this email).  Even better would be
something like CP/M's DFX (Disk Fix) or Norton Utilities of old which
would permit hex editing through a "curses" style interface.  I miss those
incredibly handy low-level tools!

Does such a thing exist for linux?
