Try emacs. It will display nulls as ^@

It will even let you delete it with Ctrl-d (Control and letter d) to delete 1 character.

I'm not an emacs user but it comes in handy sometimes.

NAME
info - read Info documents SYNOPSIS
info [OPTION]... [MENU-ITEM...] DESCRIPTION
Read documentation in Info format. Frequently-used options: -a, --all use all matching manuals -k, --apropos=STRING look up STRING in all indices of all manuals -d, --directory=DIR add DIR to INFOPATH -f, --file=MANUAL specify Info manual to visit -h, --help display this help and exit --index-search=STRING go to node pointed by index entry STRING -n, --node=NODENAME specify nodes in first visited Info file -o, --output=FILE output selected nodes to FILE -O, --show-options, --usage go to command-line options node --subnodes recursively output menu items -v, --variable VAR=VALUE assign VALUE to Info variable VAR --version display version information and exit -w, --where, --location print physical location of Info file The first non-option argument, if present, is the menu entry to start from; it is searched for in all 'dir' files along INFOPATH. If it is not present, info merges all 'dir' files and shows the result. Any remaining arguments are treated as the names of menu items relative to the initial node visited. For a summary of key bindings, type H within Info. EXAMPLES
info show top-level dir menu info info-stnd show the manual for this Info program info emacs start at emacs node from top-level dir info emacs buffers select buffers menu entry in emacs manual info emacs -n Files start at Files node within emacs manual info '(emacs)Files' alternative way to start at Files node info --show-options emacs start at node with emacs' command line options info --subnodes -o out.txt emacs dump entire emacs manual to out.txt info -f ./foo.info show file ./foo.info, not searching dir REPORTING BUGS
