Evan,
Check vfp5\tools\hexeditor.scx. And here are some basic routines for conversion :

function dec2hexb
lparameters nDecimal, nDigits
if parameters() < 2
	nDigits = 1
endif	
if nDecimal > 0xffffffff		&& Greater than 32 bit value
	highdword = int(nDecimal / 0x0ffffffff)
	lowdword = 	bitand(nDecimal,0x0ffffffff)
	return dec2hexb(highdword,8)+dec2hexb(lowdword,8)
endif	
cHexString = ""
do while nDecimal > 0
	cHexString = ;
		dec2HexDigit(bitand(nDecimal,0x0F)) ;
		+ cHexString							&& Constitute righmost digit
	nDecimal = bitrshift(nDecimal,4)			&& Drop rightmost digit
enddo
return padl(cHexString,max(nDigits,len(cHexString)),"0")

function Dec2HexDigit
lparameters nDigit
return iif(nDigit > 9, ;
	chr(asc("A")+nDigit-10),;
	chr(asc("0")+nDigit))

function hex2dec
lparameters tcHexBytes
return eval("0x"+tcHexBytes)
