[plug] Looking for LIST

[Bill Kenworthy]

Lately I have been using khexedit for looking at binaries in a user
friendly fashion.  You mention dumphex - dont know it but hexdump can be
quite good if you "stack" the switches (i.e., will display hex and chars
at the same time - see below for a slightly different format, the actual
format is up to you!)

The byte reversed display is because it is raw, ie intel machines
actually store 2 bytes in that fashion.
