I suppose you'd like edlin too? ;))

To be honest, I don't think there is a version. You can get close with a
combination of hexdump, nasm, gdb, etc. I don't really think you want to
go back to debug, though. How many people here wrote assembler programs in
debug? I did. I fully remembering writing programs that would corrupt the
BX register, and would often lose them when w'ing, or making them vastly
larger than they were supposed to be. Ahh, those were the days....
usually, BX was my counter, which was often at zero, and I'd end up
zeroing the file on write. 

Cheers,

Alex.
