That last is an experience/tools question. Hard if you never used a hex 
editor (if editing a binary file manually) or didn't have one. Hard if 
you have never written any serious shell scripts if writing a batch 
editing process or where in an environment lacking the standard tools of 
a 'nix OS. Hard if you have never written a program in any computer 
language to write a program to correct bad records.

But not hard for all of us.
