PSPad, a nice, small freeware editor, has a feature that allows you
open a file directly in its Hex Editor, bypassing any transcoding of
the file. This allows you to truly see the "bytes on disk". By
two I use:
* emacs hexl-mode
* the 'od' tool, as in
[cato:~] od -x ./commons-lang-2.1.jar | head

'od' is unix-ish, of course. it's particularly good for a quick peek
at the bytes.
