-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 (Binary Editor And Viewer) is an editor for binary files
+containing arbitrary data. With beav, you can edit a file in HEX,
+ASCII, EBCDIC, OCTAL, DECIMAL, and BINARY. You can display but not
+edit data in FLOAT mode. You can search or search and replace in
+any of these modes. Data can be displayed in BYTE, WORD, or DOUBLE
+WORD formats. While displaying WORDS or DOUBLE WORDS the data can
+be displayed in INTEL's or MOTOROLA's byte ordering. Data of any
+length can be inserted at any point in the file. The source of this
+data can be the keyboard, another buffer, or a file. Any data that
+is being displayed can be sent to a printer in the displayed format.
+Files that are bigger than memory can be handled.
