Technically I don't actually need any editing facilities - just the
viewer side would do.
I think PCTools came with a reasonable one at one point, but there's
probably something better out there that's downloadable...
I wrote one but it might not serve your needs; it was built as the
fastest way to view text in a binary file. Check it out here:

My focus was instant start and fast screen writing (in fact, I make the
claim that the included text "fastwrite" code is the fastest for 808x on
the planet, with or without "snow" handling).
If you want hex, I could be persuaded to add a traditional hex view,
just email me what you're looking for privately.
