I'm working in C and Unix with binary files.  I'm looking for two
programs:

1. Binary file editor.  I'm looking for a program that will allow
   me to INSERT and DELETE bytes, as well as setting existing
   byte values.

2. Binary file comparer.  Compares files byte-by-byte.  This
   shouldn't be too difficult to write in C, but if someone else
   has already done this, it will save me some time.

Hopefully the programs are screen-oriented (use stdio) but DON'T
use Unix terminfo stuff since the programs must be portable to a
non-Unix system with a C compiler on it that supports stdio but
not terminfo.

Even if it's not screen-oriented, I'll take anything I can get.
