If anyone is interested in a hex binary-file editor, check out XVI32
at www.chmaas.handshake.de
It's one of the best freeware hex editors I've seen in a long time.
I've used it and recommend it highly.
Runs on win9x/2K/NT. About a 500K download, no-install required. Just
unzip to a subdir & run.

==========================
XVI32 is a free hex-editor with the following main features.
o Data Inspector to show permanently decoding of numbers
o Built-in XVI32script interpreter allows to automate editing or share
patches. More...
o Computing of CRC16 (standard) and CRC32 (PKZIP compatible) checksums
for complete file and selected block (only if block is currently
selected)
o Easily works with huge files. Try to open a 60 MB sized text file
with some other hex editors (not to speak about Wordpad), then use
XVI32...
o XVI32 allows to edit files up to 2 GB (enough virtual memory
provided, of course)
o For your convenience, XVI32 stores settings and last used search
strings etc. in XVI32.INI file
o Progress indication in percent for most operations
o You can abort nearly all operations (reading/writing files, search,
replace, print...)
o Display of both text (ASCII/ANSI) and hexadecimal representation
o Two synchronous cursors in text and hex area
o Wheel mouse support
o Fully resizeable window (change number of rows and columns)
o Font and font size adjustable
o Overwrite or insert characters
o Insert text or hex string n times
o Switch byte offset (address) of first byte between 0 or 1 to examine
also record structure of plain text files
o Search text or hex string, e.g. find "this text" or find "0D 0A"
o Search optionally with joker (wildcard) char that will match any
character, e.g. find "A.C" or "00 2E 2E 00" where "." = "2E"
(user-defined) stands for any character
o Fast searching algorithm (Quicksearch) for both search directions
(down/up)
o Count occurences of text or hex string
o Replace text or hex string, e.g. replace "0D 0A" by "0A" or replace
"0D 0A" by text "EOL"
o Simplified search for Unicode Latin (UTF-16) strings
o Extremely fast "replace all" mode (if needed, additional memory is
allocated beforehead, not at every single replacing operation)
o Auto-fill feature to copy bytes from current address into input
field for hex string using right arrow key
o Character conversion using self-defined character table
o Easy converting of text to hex string in dialogs (e.g. "abc" -> "61
62 63")
o Decoding and encoding of 1, 2, 4, and 8 byte integers and floats in
2 possible byte orders (optionally shown permanently by Data
Inspector)
o Bit manipulation (view or set bits)
o Open file in Read Only mode (e.g. if opened by another application
or to avoid unintentional modifications)
o Insert file contents into file
o Write block to file
o Copy, move or delete block
o Clipboard support
o Goto address (absolute or relative up/down)
o Bookmarks
o Enter jump width and jump up/down (useful for files with fixed
record length)
o Patch BORLAND PASCAL 7.0 EXE files for execution on processors > 200
MHz
o Printing with preview or print to file
o Easily access most recently used files
o No setup programm needed, doesn't write any data to registry
o And last, but not least: XVI32 is free!
