In my searching I did come across a program called "HEXit" by HSE electronics, but the licencing model looks way over the top for something that should be quite a simple program, so I have not tried it. Did the suggestion (by micha2070) of work? I don't want to install more bloatware (java) simply to try this and find it is just like every other binary file editor out there.
