Hi,

I would suggest either of the following:

1.  your requirements are so narrow and specific you could probably
     write a tool to do what you want, in C or Perl, in less than an hour.

2.  use a big-endian computer, so the bytes are in the order you want
     them (e.g. MC 68xxxx, or  the pending IA-64).

Regards,
Doug Wyatt
