- 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 emacs for display and keyboard handling
- functions. The binary file handling and display formats are special
- to BEAV. There is a full manual included in this release. There
- are makefiles for unix, xenix 286, AmigaDOS, and MSC 5.1 under DOS. The
- old Wang PC is supported. This has been tested on 286 and 386 PC's under
- SCO UNIX and XENIX and AIX on a RS6000. There are a number of makefiles
- included, select the appropriate one and rename it to makefile.
-
- BEAV is available various archives, on SIMTEL20 it is;
-
- PD1:<MDSOS.FILUTL>BEAV132.ZIP MSDOS executable and doc
-
- PD1:<MDSOS.FILUTL>BEAV132S.ZIP source and doc
-
- I am willing to maintain BEAV and will entertain suggestions for
- modifications and/or bug fixes. I can be reached at;
