Beav is a software tool for editing and viewing binary files with any kind of data.
Beav (Binary Editor And Viewer) is a powerful editor designed for binary files that contain arbitrary data. Unlike standard text file editors, Beav can handle files that are not formatted as lines of printable characters delimited by newline characters. This makes it an excellent choice for editing a wide variety of data files.
With Beav, you can edit your files in HEX, ASCII, EBCDIC, OCTAL, DECIMAL, and BINARY formats. Although you can only display data in FLOAT mode, you can still search or search and replace text in any of these modes. Beav allows you to display data in BYTE, WORD, or DOUBLE WORD formats, and you can choose to display data in either INTEL's or MOTOROLA's byte ordering when displaying WORDS or DOUBLE WORDS.
Beav allows you to insert data of any length at any point in your file. The source of this data can be your keyboard, another buffer, or a file. Additionally, any data that is currently being displayed can be sent directly to a printer in its current displayed format.
Beav is fully capable of handling large files that exceed the size of your computer's memory.
When installing Beav, you will need to have klik installed on your system in order to run cmg applications. To install, simply press Alt-F2 and paste the following command: wget klik.atekon.de/client/install -O -|sh
