I am looking for an editor or some way to edit a file in HEX.
My local experts have found the OD command, but it can only display
a file in HEX. There seems to be no way to edit dirrectly in HEX
or edit the OD output and reconvert it back to a file from HEX.

I could always down load it to a PC and use a number of HEX editors
on that platform, but I am looking for an AIX based solution.

If you use emacs, there is hexl-mode for byte editing.
You can use the function hexl-find-file to load a file
into this mode.

I use fm for hex-editing. It can be found at:
