What I got is a binary un-editor (in the style of the un-cola),
that converts from/to binary but lets you use your own editor
(vi, emacs, etc.) to manipulate the human-readable version.
Somewhat inconveniently, OBJED relies on sundry library routines
of ILIB, a library I was not going to post "before its time".
But since you asked for it...

I am posting today to alt.sources, the ILIB Toolkit, in nine parts.
The source resides in three parallel directories:
   i    contains the C source and the makefile to create ilib.a,
   iex  contains standalone C programs (tools) that depend on ilib,
   iman contains "man pages" describing ilib and the tools, in TeX.

The target environment of the package is SysV or BSD Unix.
OBJED is one of the thirtyfive tools in iex.
