bindecode is a little app I wrote to decode a bunch of bits into something more human friendly. Currently it supports most important IA64 registers and a few other things, though if someone wants to send me patches for other architectures that is cool.
A screenshot should suffice

The real thing is a bit more colourful with some ANSI colours.
