Hey all,

  Can anyone recommend a good hex viewer that can handle files of
arbitrary size (i.e., doesn't read the whole file into memory at
once)?

  All I'm looking for is a table of byte values with offsets on the
left and ASCII interpretation on the right.  If anyone remembers the
"hex view" mode of Vern Buerg's venerable LIST.COM program from the
days of DOS, that's exactly what I'm looking for, except for Win32.

  (I've got a 166 MB text file extracted from an ancient database
table.  All the utilities I've thrown at it appear to think it
consists of one line roughly 170 million characters wide.  There must
be some kind of record separator, but I can't figure out what it is.
Or maybe it's fixed-length, but then I need to view it to determine
the length.)

  I've done the Google, but there are a great many possibilities,
hence my desire for a recommendation from people I know.  :)
