+bed (ncurses-based adjustable data format binary/hex editor)
+
+Bed is a binary editor that supports editing/viewing data in a wide
+variety of formats, including ASCII, unsigned and signed integers, float,
+bit-flags, bit-fields, labels, EBCDIC and time_t. Different sizes and
+byte orderings are possible. Data types can be used in structures. Other
+data formats, filters and procedures can be defined in plugins.
+
+Notes:
+
+- bed starts up in Ascii input mode. Press F7 to switch to "Digit-Hex" entry
+ mode. If this doesn't work, see the next note.
+
+- bed makes extensive use of Meta key combinations and the F-keys.
+ It's pretty sensitive to the terminal type and $TERM setting being used.
+ See README_SBo.txt if you have trouble with the keyboard commands.
