How do I use hexl-mode with Emacs?
On NT, you should be able to use hexl-mode as you would on Unix (e.g., M-x hexl-mode and you’re off to the races). On Windows 95, however, you won’t be able to use hexl-mode if you use command.com as your shell because it doesn’t accept input from stdin. Instead, you will have to use one of the non-system shells (see the section below on shells for more info on some shells you can use). You might also have to explicitly set hexlify-command and dehexlify-command; for more info from users who have gotten it to work on their system, take a look at these suggestions. If you are having trouble with hexl-mode and bash, see Andrew’s comments on the topic.
