TRANSFERRING MULTIBYTE FILES

Do you find trouble in transferring 
multibyte binary data files to Windows 
and then read through HexEditor ?
(Or some such windows based application )

Try Solaris/HP-UX command /usr/bin/od 
to generate octal and hexadecimal Dump !

 -x      Interpret words in hex.  

$od -x <Raw_File_Name>

will generate Hex View on stdout.
For more usage on the command explore 
"man od".
