Anyone have a way to strip xxx bytes from the beginning of a binary
file, writing the remainder to a new file? (Something like the TAIL
command but for binary content instead of lines of a file.).

Would be nice if it could find the first occurence of the string
"RIFF" in the file and stripping all bytes before this string.

Thanks.

No.
With current resoures, you can use DEBUG. The hard way, BTW.
Otherwise, use a file splitter program.
