With a shift of 1 Xthat double word would be made of bytes 11, 12, 13, and 14. XWith a shift of 2 then bytes 12, 13, 14, and 15 would be used. XThe maximum shift in word display mode is one and the maximum Xshift in double word mode is three. X X The buffer is in effect shifted toward the beginning of the Xbuffer with 1, 2, or 3 bytes becoming not visible. These bytes Xare not lost, they become visible when the shift is set to zero. XThis command cycles through all possible shift values. There is Xno effect in any byte display mode or any text display mode. X X X 3.6 Inserting and deleting X X These commands are the core of BEAV. These commands allow Xthe buffer to be edited in a similar fashion to a text editor. XBEAV has an insert mode much the same as text editors but it only Xworks when displaying data in one of the text modes, either ASCII Xor EBCDIC. In other modes it doesn't make any sense to insert Xcharacters as they are typed when there is more than one Xcharacters per unit. In the data modes there is a command that Xinserts a unit of zeros into the buffer. Similarly the delete Xcommands always delete a unit rather than a character. In a Xtext mode the delete commands work as in a text editor because a Xunit is a character. X X Ctl-X I insert-unit X X Insert a zero at the cursor position. The rest of the Xdata moves down one place. Thus, if double words are being Xdisplayed, four bytes are inserted before the cursor position. XThese bytes are initialized to zero. This command works in all Xdisplay modes. X X Ctl-X Ctl-A insert-toggle Insert X X In either of the two text modes this command toggles Xbetween insert mode and overwrite mode. In insert mode each Xcharacter that is typed is inserted in front of the cursor and Xthe rest of the buffer is moved down. In overwrite mode the Xtyped characters replace the character that is at the cursor. XThis command has no effect in a non-text display mode. X X Ctl-Q insert-literally Esc Q X X This command sets a special temporary mode where the next Xtyped character is inserted in the buffer no matter what the Xcharacter is. This allows control codes to be inserted in the Xbuffer when in a text display mode. Alternatively the same byte Xcould be inserted into the buffer by using one of the data Xdisplay modes. It night be faster to use this command on some Xoccasions. X X X X X 18 X X BEAV User Manual X X X Ctl-T unit-twiddle X X The unit at the cursor is swapped with the previous unit. X X Rubout delete-back-char Backspace X X This command deletes the character before the cursor and Xpulls the rest of the buffer back. The cursor remains on the Xsame character as it moves back. It only works in the text and Xbyte display modes. X X Ctl-D delete-forw-char Delete X X The character at the cursor is deleted and the buffer is Xpulled back. The cursor remains at the same position. It only Xworks in the text and byte display modes. X X Esc Rubout delete-back-unit Esc Ctl-K X X This command deletes the unit before the cursor and pulls Xthe rest of the buffer back. The cursor remains on the same Xunit as it moves back. X X Esc D delete-forw-unit X X The unit at the cursor is deleted and the buffer is pulled Xback. The cursor remains at the same position. X X Esc W copy-mark-to-cursor F7 X X The area in the buffer from the mark to the current cursor Xposition is copied into the kill buffer. If the mark is not set Xbefore this command is given an error is reported. X X Ctl-W delete-mark-to-cursor F8 X X The area in the buffer from the mark to the current cursor Xposition is deleted and placed into the kill buffer. If the Xmark is not set before this command is given an error is Xreported. X X Ctl-Y yank F6 X X The contents of the kill buffer is inserted into the buffer Xat the cursor position. The kill buffer itself is not changed. X X X 3.7 Search and Replace Commands X X BEAV has very powerful search and replace commands. The Xsearch and replace string can be entered in any of the display Xmodes. The search and replace strings can each be up to 256 Xbytes long. The display mode can be changed at any time while Xentering the string. Wild cards can be placed down to the bit X X X X 19 X X BEAV User Manual X X Xlevel on both the search and replace strings. The wild card Xcharacter, '?', will match any value that it is compared with. X X When a wild card is placed in the replace string it leaves Xthe destination data unchanged at that position. Thus, if the Xdestination contains the ASCII string '41 42 43 44' and the Xreplace string contains '66 67 ?? 69' the result would be '66 67 X43 69'. X X Wild cards can be placed in any position that makes sense. XIf you want to use wild cards in an ASCII string then you must Xswitch to another mode to enter them. You can then switch back Xto ASCII mode. In this case a '?' will appear in the position Xwhere the wild card has been placed but it appears exactly the Xsame as a standard question mark. In fact if you type a '?' Xover the wild card there will be no apparent change. However, Xthe character will no longer be a wild card but a standard Xquestion mark. To see the true wild cards you must use a data Xdisplay mode. In fact if the wild card has been set on the bit Xlevel then you must go to binary display mode to see its actual Xposition. X X The commands to change the display mode in search and Xreplace are the same as for the window display mode. The search Xand replace strings can be scrolled back an forth and the cursor Xmoved using the same commands as for the window. While Xperforming a replace command you can switch between the search Xstring and replace string by using the 'move-back-page' or 'move- Xforw-page' commands. X X Esc S search-forw F3 X X Prompts for a search string then searches from the current Xcursor position for the first match. The cursor is positioned Xat the first unit of the match. X X Esc R search-back X X This command is the same as the previous one except that it Xsearches backward. X X Esc T search-again F4 X X This command repeats the previous search command, forward Xor backward. The cursor is first moved one byte in the Xappropriate direction before the search is repeated. X X Esc % replace F5 X X Prompt for search string. After entering the search Xstring hit return and you will be prompted for the replace Xstring. After entering the replace string hit return. BEAV Xwill then search for the first match with the search string. If X X X X X 20 X X BEAV User Manual X X Xa match is found you will be prompted with '(R)eplace, (S)kip, X(A)ll, (O)ne, (Q)uit' X X If you type a 'R' the replace will be done at this location Xand the search will continue. If you type a 'S' the replace Xwill not be done and search will continue. If you type an 'A' Xthe replace will be done and will be done at all future matches Xwithout pausing for conformation. If you type an 'O' the Xreplace will be done at this location and the search will stop. XIf you type a 'Q' then the search will be terminated. X X Ctl-R recall-srch-string X X If you enter search or replace previously used strings can Xbe recalled with this command. X X X 3.8 Exiting BEAV X X While using BEAV individual buffers may be saved to disk Xduring the editing session. When quitting BEAV you must save Xall buffers or delete all buffers. There are two commands that Xdo this. X X Ctl-C quit-no-save Sh-F10 X X If there are any unsaved buffers you will be prompted for Xconformation before proceeding. All buffers will be deleted Xthen you will return to DOS. X X Ctl-X Ctl-E quit-save-all Sh-F9 X X All buffers are saved before exiting to DOS. X X X 3.9 Printing X X The data that is being displayed in BEAV can be printed or Xsent to a file in the same format as displayed. If the current Xwindow is displaying octal words and a print command is given the Xformat of the print will be in the format of the window; that is, Xoctal words. X X Esc P print-mark-to-cursor Ctl-Print X X To use this command you must set the mark and the cursor to Xdefine the region that you want printed. If the mark is not set Xit as assumed to be at the first unit. After you enter the Xcommand you will be prompted with 'Print to:'. You can enter a Xfile name or a device name to send the print image to. If you Xenter 'PRN' most systems will print a hard copy. X X This is useful for getting a print out of the current key Xbindings. To do this give the 'help' command 'F1'. Go to the X X X X 21 X X BEAV User Manual X X Xbottom of the help window using the 'move-to-end' command 'End', Xthe mark will be assumed to be at the beginning of the buffer. XIssue the 'print-mark-to-cursor' command. Enter 'PRN' at the Xprompt. This should print the complete help buffer and will Xreflect any changes that you have made to the key bindings. X X X 3.10 Keyboard Macros X X BEAV has the capability of recording key strokes as they Xare entered and playing them back later. This is useful for Xrepeating multi-keystroke operations. X X Ctl-X ( macro-start X X Start recording key strokes. There is no effect on the Xoperation of the key strokes. Any previous recorded key strokes Xare cleared. X X Ctl-X ) macro-end X X Stop recording key strokes. The key strokes are available Xfor play back. X X Ctl-X E macro-execute X X Play back the recorded key strokes. The key strokes that Xwere recorded are played back as if they were typed at the Xkeyboard. X X X 3.11 Key Binding X X BEAV provides a user configurable interface. The Xinterface is controlled by a set of key bindings. This relates Xthe command that will be executed when a particular key stroke is Xentered. There are a set of default key bindings as described Xin this manual. These can be changed to reflect your Xpreferences. When a change is made it is reflected in the help Xscreen. X X Ctl-X ? binding-for-key Sh-F1 X X This command will tell you what function a certain key Xsequence is bound to. When this command is given you will be Xprompted for a key stroke or key stroke sequence. BEAV will Xreport back with the function name. X X Esc K bind-to-key X X First you will prompted for a function name. Enter the Xname of the function that you wish to create a new binding for. XFunction names are the names listed in this manual that are of Xthe form of 'move-forw-unit' or 'display-hex'. After you enter X X X X 22 X X BEAV User Manual X X Xthe name hit return. You will be prompted for a key. This can Xbe in the form of a single standard key such as 'Z'. Standard Xkey sequences can be entered such as 'Ctl-X Z' Xor 'Esc Z'. Special keys can be entered such as 'F1' (function Xkey 1) or 'Page Down'. It is probably a good idea to not use Xkeys that are needed for editing. If you bound 'Z' to a Xfunction then you would not be able to enter it as a keystroke Xwhen using ASCII display mode. You could still enter it using Xthe 'insert-literally' command or doing it in one of the data Xdisplay modes but this would be more cumbersome. X X Ctl-X L bindings-load X X You are prompted for a file name that contains the key Xbinding that you wish to set. This file is read in and the Xappropriate bindings are set. The text in the binding file Xshould be of the form; X X X X For example; X XCtl-X Ctl-P move-back-char 0550 XF1 move-forw-char 04bb XCtl-A move-forw-unit 0141 XEsc Ctl-T move-back-unit 0354 X X The easiest way of producing a valid key binding file is to Xset the desired bindings in BEAV. Next issue the 'help' command X(ESC ?), then write the buffer out with the file-write command X(Ctl-X Ctl-W). The file created will be a valid format for Xloading and can be edited as desired. It is the only reliable Xway to get the number. X X X 3.12 Special Functions X X These are the commands that do not logically fit under one Xof the previous headings X X Gtl-G abort-cmd F10 X X This command aborts the current command. It can even Xabort a partially entered command. Thus, if you have typed an X'Esc' as that start of a command you can type Ctl-G to return to Xthe normal command entry mode. X X Esc A auto-save X X BEAV can be set to automatically save the current buffer Xafter a specified number of buffer editing commands are given. XThis command first prompts for the number of operations before Xthe save is made. If a zero is entered at the prompt, this X X X X X 23 X X BEAV User Manual X X Xfeature is disabled. The default condition of this command is Xdisabled. X X Esc C compare X X This is a powerful feature of BEAV. The contents of two Xwindows are compared byte for byte from the current cursor Xposition in each window. There must be exactly two windows to Xuse this command. These windows can be displaying the same or Xdifferent buffers. When a difference is found the cursor in Xeach window is moved to that position and both windows are moved Xaccordingly. The display mode does not affect the operation of Xthis command except in restricting the cursor position to whole Xunits. X X Esc X extended-command X X If any command looses its binding, this command allows the Xunbound command to be used. A command can loose its binding Xbecause the binding was assigned to another command. When this Xcommand is given you will be prompted for a command name. Enter Xthe command name that you wish to execute, it will be executed as Xif you had typed its key binding. X X Esc Ctl-F n-way-combine X X The contents of other windows can be copied sequentially Xinto the current window. This is useful in combining odd-even Xproms into an executable image file. To use this command create Xan empty window with a buffer file name of an empty or Xnonexistent file. Read into additional windows the files that Xyou want to combine. While in the empty target window, issue Xthe n-way-combine command. The data in the other windows will Xbe read into the current window. The next window lower on the Xscreen will be read first, then the one below that, etc. X X For example; if you had two files, promlow.bin and Xpromhi.bin that you wanted to combine into a file called Xprom.bin. First issue the file-visit command (Ctl-X Ctl-V), Xenter prom.bin at the prompt. This file should be empty of non- Xexistent. Next read promlow.bin into a new window with the Xfile-visit-split command (Esc U), enter promlow.bin at the Xprompt. Open another window for promhi.bin with the same Xcommand. Go to the window containing prom.bin (empty). Issue Xthe n-way-combine command. BEAV will copy the first byte from Xthe window immediately below the prom.bin window and deposit it Xin the destination window buffer as well as advance the dot Xposition in both windows. It will advance to the next lower Xwindow and copy a byte from there into the destination window and Xadvance the dot in both windows. This process will continue Xuntil one of the source buffers is exhausted, or the user Xterminates the command. X X X X X X 24 X X BEAV User Manual X X X The user must take care that the source buffers are in the Xcorrect order. They are read starting at the window immediately Xbelow the current window. If the target window is at the bottom Xof the screen then it wraps to the top. In this way any order Xcan be used and changed at will. X X Esc Ctl-S n-way-split X X This command is the mirror image of the n-way-combine. XThe data in the current window is distributed among the rest of Xthe window buffers displayed. The current window buffer must be Xthe only window buffer that contains data. If there are two Xother empty window buffers then the data will be divided two Xways. If there are five then the data will be divided five ways X X Ctl-L refresh-screen X X The screen is reprinted from BEAV's internal buffer. This Xis useful if the display is messed up due to transmission errors. XOn a PC this is unlikely to happen. X X Esc Ctl-V show-version X X The version and date of BEAV is displayed in the command Xline. X X Ctl-X C spawn-shell X X A new MSDOS command shell is created. You can return to XBEAV by typing 'exit'. X X Ctl-U repeat count X X This command prompts for a number to be entered. This Xcauses the next command given to be repeated by that number of Xtimes.

Release notes X X X Version 1.20 (3/10/91) of BEAV contains the following fixes Xand enhancements; X X* Under unix files are created with read/write X permissions. X X* Fixed the bug in the terminal I/O routine that caused X BEAV to spin rather than give up control when waiting for a X character. X X* Added the ANSI #define that was missing for MSDOS. X X* Changed the D16 #define to a unsigned short. X X* Called ttclose on error exit. X X* Check and limit ncol and nrow to the actual screen X array size. X X* Add the ability to load key bindings from a file X automatically under MSDOS and unix. X X* Add delete current window command. X X* Support VT100 type function keys. X X X Version 1.30 (7/1/91) of BEAV contains the following fixes Xand enhancements; X X* Under MSDOS and 16 bit UNIX systems the kill or copy X region could not be over 64K bytes. This limit has been X eliminated. X X* The save buffer can be made visible with the Esc Ctl- X W command. The save buffer is not editable. X X* All memory allocation errors now pause and ask for X conformation before continuing. In previous releases only X an error message was printed. Since an allocation error X generally means data loss, I have forced the user to X respond. Memory allocation errors are not otherwise fatal X to BEAV, they are probably fatal to the user's data. The X decision is left to the user with the appropriate warning. X X* Two commands have been added to aid in working with X PROM files; n-way-split (Esc Ctl-S) and n-way-combine (Esc X Ctl-F). X X* The speed of the delete-mark-to-cursor (Ctl-W) X command has been greatly improved. X X X X 32 X X BEAV User Manual X X X X* All commands that can potentially take a lot of time X can be stopped by pressing Ctl-G.
