xxd is a C program that creates a hex dump of a file or
input and converts a hex dump back to its original form.
This program has been distributed with vim for many years
but I got bright idea to have a simple stand-alone
distribution for UNIX-like systems. The version number of
xxd has stopped at "xxd V1.10 27oct98 by Juergen Weigert"
even though "xxd.c" distributed with vim has been updated.
I apologize for any confusion this causes. The version
in this tarball is from the latest vim74. It came with
several makefiles for different build systems, but I am
keeping only the original very simple Makefile here.

Report any bugs to the upstream maintainers of vim.
