Hi.
	I was wondering if anyone out there in netland knows of the existence
of a program that will convert a file from hexadecimal to ASCII.  Seems that
some data files I have from a spectrophotometer are in hex, and I need to get
them into ASCII so that I can plot the data, etc.  There is a utility on the
spectrophotometer that will convert the machine's data files (which are binary)
to hexadecimal, but unfortunately it won't convert them to ASCII.  I can get 
the file (in hex) onto a mac or UNIX, but now I need to convert the files to
a usable form.  I *could* write a utility to do this, i guess, but I would 
rather not re-invent the wheel.

Thanks for any help...
