What I needed was a program that is able to convert a string of Shift-JIS text to hex very quickly. What I found was this:

It works pretty nice, but the problem is that you have to be online to use it. Does anyone know of something similar that you can download and use without being online?

You can roll your own in Visual Basic Express.

EDIT: Or better still, I could roll one for you.

Thank you very much, exactly what I was looking for  Grin

By any chance could you make an EUC one? (if it's not too much trouble).

Done. Same link as above.

GetMyHex 1.5 has radio buttons for selecting Shift-JIS and EUC, as well as Unicode and UTF-8. Just in case. ^_^

I'm a PPC Mac user, not an Intel Mac user, just to note.

I'm on Linux, but this should work on any system with gnu tools.

Code:
cat file |  xxd  -c 256 -ps

file being the file with all the text you want converted Smiley

I googled and found this thread, which has some simple python code, should run anywhere.

Hope that helps.

P.S. Bootcamp would require Windows, it's fancy talk for dual-boot. There is always wine, but I'm pretty sure its on x86/amd64 only...
