# Multi-buffer editor for binary files with a Vi-like interface

\[[Home][ringlet-home] | [Download][ringlet-download] | [GitLab][gitlab] | [ReadTheDocs][readthedocs]\]

## Overview

Hexer is a multi-buffer editor for binary files for Unix-like systems
that displays its buffer(s) as a hex dump.  The user interface is kept
similar to vi/ex.

All POSIX-compatible environments should be supported.

## Installation

- To unpack hexer (you've probably done this already), type:
``` sh
gunzip < hexer-1.0.7.tar.gz | tar -xvf -
```
  Change into the newly-created hexer-1.0.7/ subdirectory.
- Type `make`.
- If you want a command line version of the builtin calculator "myc",
  type `make myc`.
- Type `make install` to install the binaries and the manual.
