BMP to XYscatter chart: How can I put a hexadecimal dump in a textfile/spreadsheet?

I am working on a macro to convert small bitmap files into Excel
xy-scatter charts, by using the markers as if they were pixels, for a
lithograph type effect. In order to do this I need to put the
hexadecimal code into cells in the spreadsheet. There is one very
basic programming task I don't know how to do: get a hexadecimal dump
into a text file. (From there, it's not too hard to format the
"hexadecimal dump" text into short lines with a word wrap in WordPad,
and then copy it into cells on the Excel spreadsheet, and then "parse"
it to do what I need it to do.)

There's probably a very simple DOS command or freeware utility that
puts a hexadecimal dump of a binary file into a text file or the
clipboard: does anyone know what it might be?

Thanks very much.
 
Hi rhmd,

You might find the BMP routines in the examples useful.
