Do you really want *binary* AND hex? If so, could you tell me why (what have
I been missing?)?

Linux does have "hexdump", which shows the hex codes for a file. And I use
the very nice "xdump" utility that was published as a programming example in
the first (alas, OP - they don't include it in the current 2E) edition of
_Programming Perl_. This app displays hex and the ASCII value of printable
characters (with "." displayed for unprintable characters) in parallel (not
in windows, since it is a command-line utility).

If you really want binary and hex, this perl program should be fairly easy
to convert.
