Good morning.

People who start mails like this want something difficult doing :)

I wish to sort a file of binary data wherein the entries are 
delimited by nothing.

Here we go :)

Are they fixed width fields, or contexually dependant length?

If they are binary, what would you like to sort them by?

Would it be easier to get the generating program to sort them?

Are you sure indexing wouldn't be easier, more appropriate or more
maintainable ?
