fv is a curses-based binary file editor which has a vi-like feel.  It
has forward and backward search capabilities in hex or ASCII and can
display file information in a variety of formats.  Simple online help
is available.

This is the first public release of a the binary file editor which is
compilable for Linux, SunOS, FreeBSD, OS9, Amiga, NetBSD, HPUX, Dynix,
and Windows 95/NT.  Full source code is provided in this package to
allow ports to new platforms or the addition of new features.

Simple online help is available by typing Control-H in most fv modes.
Scrolling up and down in the window is very similar to motion in more
or vi. In some environments, the cursor keypad may also be used to more
around in the file.  Most edit commands will operate multiple times
when preceded by a number.
