Well I have to mention JOE, in hex edit mode (Hit Ctrl-T ' after opening a file)

- Has help screen

- Has undo/redo

- Handles large files. Also you can specify a range of a file to edit, like this: "joe -hex /dev/sda,0,1024" to edit the partition table in hex..

- Has search/replace, including incremental search

- Shows offset: (Ctrl-K SPACE or put it in the status line)

- Can jump to byte: (Ctrl-K X byte). You can enter math at this prompt, like: "size-10" to go to 10 bytes from the end

- Supports insert or overtype mode

- Enter ASCII, decimal, hex, or octal bytes
