hdisp -- a tiny new utility

I've written a little utility called 'hdisp' (hex display). It displays files 
in characters and hex, which makes it similar to 'od -ch', but the output is 
IMHO easier to read. It also displays "EBCDIC" characters; for instance, x'C1' 
in the input can be displayed as 'A' (actually an ASCII A, of course). I've 
been using it on Sun, IBM, and Intel hardware for years. Any objections if I 
contribute it? Also, I've never contributed code before, so any pointers to the 
proper procedures would be appreciated. Thanks.
