Binary file editing using standard tool ?

Hi,

I found a very interesting problem yesterday. I had to modify a binary
file (replacing a '0' with '1') on a solaris 2.6 system.
The host was on a high secure net and could not have 3rd party product
installed.

To change binary file, I use either vim/xxd or perl, unfortunately these
tools were not installed on this host.

What other standard tools remain if I want, say, to change ".240" with
".241" on a binary file ?

Thanks,

-vincent
