You're right.  I remember having the same frustration when I patched
the 2.0 executable.  I resorted to trying every hex editor I had until
the locations made sense with one of them, which turned out to be the
editor, Hex.  I got Hex from BIX and assumed it was on Aminet, but a
quick search shows that it's not.  I'll try to upload it over the next
few days, but in the mean time, here's a list of some other (untested)
hex editors on Aminet:

        disk/moni/azap_v220.lha
        disk/moni/BEAV.lha
        disk/moni/zap244.lha
        disk/moni/zaphod.lha
        util/misc/filex11.lha

I believe that zap and azap use a different method of indicating
position in a file -- something like a location within a block, so
they may not be helpful.  I haven't tried the others.  You can also
do hex edits in TurboText, CygnusEd Pro and EMACS (with the appropriate
mode), but I'm not sure how the indicate position in a file.
