Does anyone know if it's possible to vi "in hex". If so, how?

I know of a few free tools to do this, but I don't want to install anything if I don't have to.

Thanks,

 

You'd have to convert it external to vi, then reencode it. A perl one-liner would do it.

If you have emacs installed (which every good un*x should) it has a built in 'hexl-mode' for it.
