+beav (curses-based binary/hex editor)
+
+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.
+
+This build of beav includes a patch to support moving around the file
+with the arrow keys on most terminals, without having to create a custom
+.beavrc. The original key bindings are still active, if you're already
+used to them.
