Cygwin already has the 'od' utility (in coreutils) which has the same functionality. For example, "od -A x -v -t x1z filename" will give a nice side-by-side hex/ascii output of a file. > Well...not too, turns out, though, that it needs a type > quad_t and u_quad_t defined. As far as I know, and I could be wrong, the quad_t and u_quad_t types are BSD-isms and not actually part of any standard. POSIX defines int64_t and u_int64_t which would be the more portable types for a program to use. 'hexdump' is from BSD as well so that's probably why it uses them and not the standard ones.
