You could try "vi" :-)  Seriously, I often use vi for small-scale binary
editing without problems.  About the only "gotcha" is that it will write
an extra newline to the end of the file if it doesn't have one.  I
usually use "dd if=foo of=foo.new bs=<orig-size> count=1" to remove the
extra byte.  There may be an easier way, but this works for me.

Note that this is using the "nvi" the comes with *BSD and won't work
with most commercial vendor supplied ``traditional'' vi's.
