Hi Albert.

> Few people use "sed" on raw binary data.

Curiously enough, I've recently written several bash shell script
utilities for a customer that did just that, as it was the easiest way
to get the task done.

I've also had the pleasure of writing a diskette formatter entirely as
a bash script, and it wasn't hard either...

Best wishes from Riley.
