The one we use here is called bed.  It is a pre/post-process filter
for your favorite editor.  It allows you to use ASCII representation
if desired (the file is primarily text, for example) and to specify
record length and word size if using hex.  It was posted to the net a
couple of years ago; I made some local clean-ups.  I could post/e-mail
if there is demand.
