 No--not in the case of .com files, which are just memory 
 images ORG-ed at
 offset 100 in the PSP.  No structure at all.

 For a useful hex/ASCII file browser, Vern Buerg's LIST is

D'OH!

I LOVE list, just haven't used it in a LONG time.

Disks are getting tiresome, and rebooting to Linux when I have the images,
or need something from the net is bothersome.

Time to dig up the WFW disks...
