You can specify od -t a -t x1 if you don't mind 2 lines of output for every 16 bytes of data (one line for ascii, another line for hex). Alternatively write a python script for hex/octal dumping and use the unichr() function for byte values in the 128..255 range. -- Problem reports: http://cygwin.com/problems.html FAQ: http://cygwin.com/faq/ Documentation: http://cygwin.com/docs.html Unsubscribe info: http://cygwin.com/ml/#unsubscribe-simple
