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.
There are makefiles for the following systems;
UNIX SYS5 makefile.uxv

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;
PD1:<MDSOS.FILUTL>BEAV140.ZIP MSDOS executable and doc
PD1:<MDSOS.FILUTL>BEAV140S.ZIP source and doc
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;
