I'm creating binary files in fortran.
Fortran adds 4 byte record delimiters at the beginning

I need to delete these record delimiters, because the
software I use to visualise the binary files interprets
them as data. But I don't know how. I've looked at
hexdump and od, but those are only dumping (I think)
file contents, and I cannot see how to edit a file with them.

Any advice?

many thanks

Hello Anton,

My bet would be /usr/ports/editors/hexedit. Been a while since I've used it, but AFAIR, it has a curses or a curses like interface, and it's fairly simple to use, yet sufficiently powerful for most normal binary editing. If you want a GUI, I believe gnome (and probably KDE as well) has its own hex editor.

Good luck,

Rolf
