and ls -a b.txt shows that it has 19 bytes in size.
Copy is cp.
But what does your /b flag do? I'm trying to translate that.

PS since I'm working with a COPY of the Nelson*Maps*.pdf file, I renamed it Maps.pdf, so that the dd command lines weren't so long! Though of course a <tab> command will autocomplete the filename anyway.

Actually, I figured it out on a Linux system myself and converted things to Windows.
The "/B" on the copy command is telling it that it's binary file, which isn't necessary on UNIX. In Windows, the copy command also includes file concatenation using the "+" in between the files. The command that you want on UNIX is:
Code:
cat a b.txt c > fixed.pdf
If for some reason that doesn't work for you, this should:
Code:
sed "s/\[ 1 0 1 0 1 0 1 0 \]/\[ 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 \]/" Maps.pdf > fixed.pdf
