I didn't add xxd on my local FBSD (installed last night) setup, and my remote FBSD shell has xxd installed by default... $ uname -rms FreeBSD 9.1-RELEA

    http://vim.wikia.com/wiki/Improved_hex_editing http://vim.wikia.com/wiki/Improved_hex_editing You're right, xxd is included with vim, but as an external program. Vim provides this capability through the external program xxd, which is included by default in standard distributions of Vim. My pedantic nature was hung up on the release dates of the respective programs, as xxd predates vim on Unix.
