No, but why would I want to edit it as hex? Maybe I'm missing something obvious?

  In Hexl mode, scrolling is vastly faster -- and it shows the file as characters as well as as hex somewhat like the Unix program strings does. M-: (hexl-find-file (concat invocation-directory invocation-name)) It's no big deal, but if it is not the speed of scrolling, then I do not understand what it is about Emacs that discourages you from using it on large files without line-breaks.

    That is an improvement, but I still wish I could open it like any other text file. Still, thanks for a viable method.
