Buy faster disks, perhaps?
Seriously, I am not aware of an efficient general solution for this kind of problem... Does anybody know one? ...
How is this binary produced? Perhaps you can avoid to write the file twice using e.g. pipe or redirection and appending first the EBCDIC stream. But this assumes that you have somehow access to the program that generates this binary.
My guess is that all bet are lost if you're trying to append the string at the beginning of the file
after it has been created.
Just my 2c,
Loïc
