Here's a .pup of a basic GUI hex editor.

ihex-0.91.pup

Alternate URL:
ihex-0.91.pup

Edit: Updated link

Looks great "Previously known as Guest" but the link doesn't work anymore.

I tried downloading it from its homepage and couldn't get the binary to go in Puppy2.16.
How did you build your .pup?

i.hex looks nice and light and not so heavy to install as Adie or other hex editors I have seen.

i.hex locks up when I try to use it. It locked up first trying to edit a file and the next time on trying to open a file.
I am getting version error info on various lib files when I try to run it from a terminal. I am running Puppy 3.01 with 384megs ram full hard drive install.
I would include the text from the terminal, but I do not know the keyboard hot keys for cut and paste to copy it to this message.

Hi 8-bit,

if you just drag your mouse cursor, over whatever terminal text you want to copy, then you can paste the text to the forum by pressing Control and v keys together.

OK, here goes. This is what I get on starting i.Hex from terminal.

# ihex
/usr/local/ihex-0.91/ihex: /usr/lib/libstdc++.so.6: no version information available (required by /usr/local/ihex-0.91/ihex)
/usr/local/ihex-0.91/ihex: /usr/lib/libstdc++.so.6: no version information available (required by /usr/local/ihex-0.91/ihex)

/usr/local/ihex-0.91/ihex: /usr/lib/libstdc++.so.6: no version information available (required by ./liblgi.so)
src/linux/Lgi/GView.cpp:2154 - Factory list already has '0x809926c'
GFile::Open failed
open(/usr/local/ihex-0.91/ihex.r,00000000) = -1
errno=ENOENT (No such file or directory)

It does come up but locks solid at various stages and I have to kill it because close doesn't work.
Also, after right clicking on the taskbar button for it and killing it there, it still appears in top as still running with 2 entries.

Crashes for me too. I haven't debugged it.

I've migrated to mickey hex editor for my needs:
http://linux.softpedia.com/get/Text-Editing-Processing/Others/Text-Editor/Mickey-Hex-Editor-33423.shtml

The binary works straight away in Puppy. Its not as nice looking as ihex but at least it works.

Where's the source, dude? Give us a link to the sources and we can make this thing work for all versions...

To (sort of) answer my own question, I found this hexedit
ftp://metalab.unc.edu/pub/Linux/apps/editors/terminal/
I also found another one in the debian repos:
http://packages.debian.org/stable/editors/hexedit

If you like colored ncurses screens(like mc), you'll enjoy the first one more. The one in debian is a little newer, but I had no trouble compiling either one.
