I could do hexedit.

I downloaded the source package, and was happy to see that you'd 
cygported it already.  It looks to be pretty rarely updated, which is 
nice from a maintainership standpoint.

I have a couple of questions:

1. There doesn't seem to be a mailing list for the project at its home, 
which is now http://rigaux.org/  (The cygport file gives an older URL.) 
  How do you learn about new releases?

2. I built it from the cygport, and the result seems to work, except 
that the function keys aren't being interpreted correctly.  Is this a 
problem in MinTTY, in the terminal protocol I've selected (xterm-color), 
or in hexedit?  If the latter, I think I'm signing up to release a -2 to 
fix it.

3. Is there a good reason for this to remain in the distro along with 
bvi, other than "it's not vi"?
