Does GNU emacs have a mode that allows patching and editing of binary files or executables? I've heard this but haven't found any mention in the man. Also, any recommendations out there for a dos emacs. I've used micro-emacs and Epsilon. How's unipress for dos? Any others that approach gnu? Thanks!

You can edit binary files directly if you like. To do sane patching, however,
I'd suggest the hexl-mode recently posted to gnu.emacs{.bug?} by Keith
Gabryelski (ag@wheaties.ai.mit.edu).
