that's what i used to write the compiler for my language. If you need help, pm me and i will explain to you how to write simple instructions in hex and in binary 0s and 1s. If you are looking to code in such obsolete format and abusing yourself, you will need a hex/binary editor. If you are looking to write a compiler, good luck . it's actually not as hard as everyone says it is .

It is very nifty for looking up the hex codes, and I used it extensively in Open86 and x86Lib...
and for that question... well I could answer it easy enough..
