/*
**  HEXDUMP.C - Dump a file.
**
**  Usage: hexdump file_name [start] [length]
**
**  e.g. hexdump temp.txt
**
**  "start" is zero-based.
**
**  The output format is similar to that used on a VAX machine, except
**  that the ordering isn't screwed up to make up for the screwed
**  little-endian cpu.
**
**  This program was written by Paul Edwards
**  It was modified by:
**  Bob Stout
**  Andrew Clarke
**
**  This program is released to the public domain
