I have a binary file modifier called fm that I pulled off comp.sources.misc
that can be used to edit devices and binary files. Once again if you do the
math beforehand this program may be of help in this situation. The devices
can be edited in either hex or ascii modes and simple string searches can be
handled. You should probably have a good understanding of the way the file
system has been implemented before fooling with this.
