bbbbppppeeee allows a file to be searched and modified in either
ASCII or hexadecimal. Each buffer is displayed in both
modes.

D - Dump one page from current file position
S - Set current file pointer
F - Find string in file (beginning from curr. position)
/ - Same as F
H - locate hex bytes in file (beginning from curr. position)
N - Display next sector
P - Display previous sector
+ - Scroll forward 2 lines
- - Scroll back 2 lines
e - Edit ASCII portion of file
E - Edit binary portion of file
W - Write modified sector back to disk
Q - Quit Program
? - help

Enter an editing mode by typing 'e' (for ASCII edit) or 'E'
for hex edit. The cursor may be moved either by the arrow
keys or the vi-style ^H, ^J, ^K, ^L keys, depending on
compilation options. Place the cursor on the byte to change
and type either a printing ASCII character or two digit hex
value. Exit either edit mode by typing ^E. When you are
satisfied with your editing, enter the W command to write
the modified portion of the file back to disk.

You may search for hex data by giving the h command and
entering a string of hex digits. The search procedes forward
from the current location until a matching string is found.
The display is adjusted to put the first byte at the top of
the screen (but see configuration options). If no pattern is
specified the previous pattern is used.
To search for a string, enter the F (for find) command, or
the vi style / command. At the prompt type in a string and
press return. The search procedes as with a hex byte search.
If you wish to repeat a string search, enter the F command
again and press return. This will repeat the search for the
previous string. If the starting position has not been
adjusted the search will start one character past the

The makefile contains configuration option, identifiable by
comments. These are all at the top of the makefile. If your
curses supports KEYPAD definition for your terminal, you may
use the cursor keys on the keypad. This is generally only
found in SysV systems with termlib versions of curses. If
you don't have that feature the NOKEYPAD option will allow
use of vi style cursor keys.
When searching, if you prefer to see the pattern in context
you may set the CLINES to the number of lines of context
displayed before the pattern found. This may cause problems
doing hex searches. In addition, if you want the display to
start on a 16 byte boundary, to match od or hd output, you
may enable the ALLIGN option.

Illegal commands are flagged as such.

For Xenix and V7 just run make. There are shell scripts for
other common systems. mksysv2 - for SysV.2, mkvat - for
V/AT, mkbsd - for BSD4.3. In addition the makefile is
heavily commented in the configuration section.
