This is the latest release of BEAV. I am posting it to alt.sources
|
|
because I my posting to comp.sources.unix has not been released by the
|
|
moderator. It has sat in the mill for over 3 months. I would like
|
|
to find an archive for the source. If someone would like to archive it
|
|
and tell me where I would be most appreciative. If this is not propper
|
|
protocol please excuse me, I am reletively new to news.
|
|
|
|
This release 1.20 of BEAV (Binary Editor And Viewer),
|
|
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 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.
|
|
|
|
Version 1.20 (3/10/91) of beav contains the following
|
|
fixes and enhancements;
|
|
|
|
* Under unix files are created with read/write
|
|
permissions.
|
|
|
|
* Fixed the bug in the terminal I/O routine that
|
|
caused beav to spin rather than give up control when
|
|
waiting for a character.
|
|
|
|
* Added the ANSI #define that was missing for MSDOS.
|
|
|
|
* Changed the D16 #define to a unsigned short.
|
|
|
|
* Called ttclose on error exit.
|
|
|
|
* Check and limit ncol and nrow to the actual screen
|
|
array size.
|
|
|
|
* Add the ability to load key bindings from a file
|
|
automatically under MSDOS and unix.
|
|
|
|
* Add delete current window command.
|
|
|
|
* Support VT100 type function keys.
|
|
|
|
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, 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 as well as under UNIX on a MIPS system.
|
|
I am willing to maintain BEAV and will entertain suggestions for
|
|
modifications and/or bug fixes. I can be reached at;
