NSTextView? The .textStorage property is an instance of NSTextStorage, a 
subclass of NSMutableAttributedString.

I suppose it depends on how much you want to be able to display. The nice thing 
about an NSTableView is that you can display a nearly infinite number of rows 
without consuming more memory, because only the visible rows consume resources. 
But if it’s only a small-to-medium amount of text, you could read the bytes and 
generate an NSString containing the hex dump, and put that into the view.
