dm is a "hex dump" utility which gives the user a lot of control over
the format of the output.  Input data items may be interpreted as 
signed or unsigned bytes, words or longwords.  Output may appear in 
hex, octal, decimal, binary, or in fact any radix between 2 and 36;
or as ASCII characters, with nonprintable characters displayed in several 
different ways: as a period, as a number (for example, "08"), as the 
ASCII mnemonic ("BS"), or as the C escape sequence ("\b").  The 
layout of the output can also be controlled: options control the 
output field widths, whether different formats are aligned horizontally
or vertically, whether output numbers are zero-padded or blank-padded,
whether they are right or left justified, and whether commas are inserted.

This was developed and tested on a 2's complement, little-endian machine,
with int = long = 32 bits, short = 16 bit, char = 8 bit.
It should work on other architectures as well, but probably will not work 
well if the machine does not have signed and unsigned integral data types
of 8, 16 and 32 bits.

INSTALLATION INSTRUCTIONS

1. Check the definitions in dm.h for s8, s16 and s32.
   These should be the data types for signed 8-bit integer,
   signed 16 bit integers and signed 32 bit integer.
   Similarly, u8, u16 and u32 are unsigned integer types.

2. Type: "make".

3. Try it out.
