I read the above as "...and I don't want to use -a" ("unless the file is

offset 67" is what he would like?

What if there is more than one match?

Binary file foo matches at offset 67
Binary file foo matches at offset 85
<...and so on...>

...though I also think Walt's second suggestion (regarding --context) has merit.
