ASCII to Hex and back

I have long strings that I need to converted from ASCII to Hex or vice versa. Is there a good graphical tool out there that I can use?

Cheers,

okay I like the MacASCIIDisplay but it is limited to one character at a time instead of accepting a string. also I am looking for an app and not a web based tool so the first suggestion is useless to me.

I think TextWrangler (free) will do a hex dump of any text string, in case that is userful.

According to their site:
MacASCII Display ... Plus, it can convert blocks of text...

I didn't try it out since I don't need it; I'm just going by what they said about blocks of text.
