+NAME
+       xed - CURSES based hex/ASCII file editor
+
+SYNOPSIS
+       xed [ -x ] [ -i ] [ -r ] [ -c ] [ -R ] filename
+
+DESCRIPTION
+       xed  edits  filename allowing individual bytes to be altered, either as
+       hex or as ASCII.
+
+OPTIONS
+       xed accepts these switches
+
+       -x     Edit the file directly, rather than a memory based  copy.   Cer-
+              tain  commands  are  disabled  if  this  switch is provided (see
+              USAGE).
+
+       -i     Start off in insert mode.
+
+       -r     Start off in regular expression search mode.
+
+       -c     Start off in case insensitive search mode.
+
+       -R     Switch on read only mode  (note  this  mode  cannot  be  toggled
+              whilst in xed ).
+
+USAGE
+       xed  is  a simple hex and ASCII based file editor.  The display is made
+       up of a banner, which describes the file being editted; the size of the
+       file  (in  hex);  the cursor position within the file (in hex); whether
+       you are operating in overtype or insert mode; whether you are in simple
+       string  or  regular  expression search mode and the case sensitivity of
+       the search.
+
+       Below the banner is the editting area, with the  file  offset  and  hex
+       listing on the left, and the ASCII on the right.
+
+       xed  operates within two modes when editting; hex and ASCII.  Below are
+       the key commands valid in each mode.  Note that all the editting,  sav-
+       ing and undo keys are ignored in read-only mode.
+
+       HEX MODE
+
+       Cursors keys
+              Move around file
+
+       h j k l
+              As above
+
+       < , ^B Move back one page
+
+       > . ^F Move forward one page
+
+       s      Save file (not valid in -x mode)
+
+       TAB    Switch to ASCII mode
+
+       $      Move to the end of the file
+
+       ^      Move to the beginning of the file
+
+       +      Jump to a specified address  (Note this address defaults to dec-
+              imal, but an hex address can be entered by prefixing the  number
+              with '0x', and an octal address by prefixing with '0')
+
+       R      Restore  byte  from  last saved/initial version (not valid in -x
+              mode)
+
+       q Q ^C Quit
+
+       1-9 a-f A-F
+              Enter Hex value
+
+       ^A     Switch between overtype/insert (not valid in -x mode)
+
+       ^T     Switch between normal/regular expression search mode
+
+       ^K     Switch between case sensitive/insensitive search mode
+
+       BS DEL Cancel after first hex digit is entered
+
+       x      Delete character at cursor (not valid in -x mode)
+
+       /      Search.  In regular expression mode this will treat the file  as
+              a  set  of  text  lines,  each line terminated with a newline or
+              NULL.
+
+       n      Search next.  Note that  this  will  perform  the  last  search,
+              regardless  of  any mode change to/from regular expression mode,
+              though it will take account of changes to case sensitivity.
+
+       ^R     Redraw screen
+
+       ASCII MODE
+
+       Cursor keys
+              Move around file
+
+       ^H ^J ^K ^L
+              As above
+
+       ^B     Move back one page
+
+       ^F     Move forward one page
+
+       TAB    Switch to HEX mode
+
+       ^A     Switch between overtype/insert (not valid in -x mode)
+
+       ^X     Delete character at cursor (not valid in -x mode)
+
+       ^R     Redraw screen
+
+       ^C     Quit
+
+ENVIRONMENT
+       xed will process these environment variables if present
+
+       XEDARG Allows default arguments to be definied in the environment.   If
+              this  is  set then invoking xed will be the same as invoking xed
+              $XEDARG <arglist>
+
+SEE ALSO
+       od(1) grep(1) curses(3) regexp(3)
+
+DIAGNOSTICS
+       The diagnostics produced by xed are intended to be self-explanatory.
+
+NOTES
+       Version 2.0 of xed includes these additions and fixes over 1.7 :
+
+       o      Drastically tidied up code to enter the 1990's at least.
+
+BUGS
+       o      Even though the input routine tries  it's  best  to  mask  them,
+              pressing  certain control keys (function keys, etc) while xed is
+              waiting for the second hex digit when editting can send a string
+              of  unexpected  commands  to  xed.  This may result in your file
+              being accidentally editted and saved.
+
+       o      The display is half-inverted and sometimes corrupts on some  HP-
+              UX systems.  This is a bug in their curses implementation.
