Silly question, but maybe someone here's found a
nice way of doing
this using standard Unix tools...
I have a few files in hex format (actually ROM dumps)
and want to
convert them to binary. Sort of the reverse of the hexdump utility.
I haven't found a way to do this with standard tools. I'd use two
small tools I wrote long ago: one to convert hex to decimal, the other
to go from character codes to the characters themselves.
Both are up for anonymous ftp from ftp.rodents.montreal.qc.ca, the
base-converter in /mouse/hacks/cvtbase.c and the converter from codes
to characters in /mouse/local/src/charcode/ (the latter also includes a
converter to go the other way).
