- BEAV (Binary Editor And Viewer), is a full featured binary file
- editor. Just about any operation that you could want to do to a binary
- file is possible with BEAV. You can insert or delete in the middle of
- a file thereby changing it's size. You can edit multiple files in
- multiple windows and cut and paste between them. You can display and
- edit data in hex, octal, decimal, binary, ascii, or ebcdic formats. You
- can display data in byte, word, or long word formats in either Intel or
- Motorola byte ordering. You can send the formatted display mode to a
- file or printer.
-
- BEAV is based on the source for micro emacs for display and keyboard
- handling functions. The binary file handling and display formats are
- specific to BEAV. There is a full manual included in this release.

- BEAV has international language support. All language dependent
- text strings are in a seperate file. The English language text file
- is called english.c. The language that is desired should have it's
- "<lang>.c" file copied to language.c. This is the file that will be
- complied and linked. This initial release of the international language
- support contains only an english.c file. The language.c file supplied
- is a copy of the english.c file.
-
- BEAV is available various archives, on WSMR-SIMTEL20.ARMY.MIL it is;

- Version 1.40 (3/31/93) of BEAV contains the following
- enhancements;
-
- * Support for different languages. All English text
- strings are contained in a seperate file. I would like to
- get translations to other languages. I will then include
- them in future releases. Key codes are 8 bit values now.
- This allows extended character sets.
-
- * A bug has been fixed in the search command. If the
- backspace key was hit while entering the search string, some
- error messages were displayed.
-
- * Another bug has been fixed in the search command.
- While entering a search pattern if you went back and inserted
- characters in the search pattern the cursor would advance one
- position too far.
-
- * BEAV will compile under OS/2. There is a makefile
- called makefile.os2. The OS/2 support is thanks to
- Kai Uwe Rommel (rommel@jonas.gold.sub.org)
-
- I am willing to maintain BEAV and will entertain suggestions
- for modifications and/or bug fixes. I can be reached at;
