I am assuming that vger.rutgers is some kind of linux/ELKS repository
and welcomes discussion of this issue.
I believe that you can persuade hexdump to make the dump in the
format you want. Check the -f option. I feel that documentation of this
program is terrible, but there are a couple of examples on the man
page, and once you get started it is not so bad.

On the 'expansion' side, it looks as is you want to convert a text
representation
of a character such as 0x69 to its binary form, 'i'. perl has the pack()
function
for doing this.
