&lt;br /&gt;
&#039;&#039;&#039;BIEW&#039;&#039;&#039; is a multiplatform, portable [[viewer]] of [[binary files]] with a built-in editor that functions in binary, hexadecimal and [[disassembler]] modes. It uses native [[X86_assembly_language#Syntax|Intel syntax]] for disassembly. Features include an [[Atmel AVR|AVR]]/[[Java (software platform)|Java]]/[[x86]]-[[i386]]-[[AMD64]]/[[ARM architecture|ARM]]-[[XScale]]/[[PPC64]] disassemblers, a Russian code pages converter, full preview of [[DOS MZ executable|MZ]], [[New Executable|NE]], [[Portable Executable|PE]], [[NLM (file format|NLM]], [[coff32]], [[Executable and Linkable Format|ELF]] formats, partial  preview of [[a.out]], [[Linear Executable|LE and LX]], [[Phar Lap (company)|Phar Lap]] formats, and a code navigator.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
==History==&lt;br /&gt;
Biew was born in [[1994]]. At that time, russian compilers were not able to produce highly optimized executables, and CPUs were too slow. That caused  many programmers to code in [[assembly language]]. In those days many countries, mainly [[Russia]], had no [[Internet]] access and it was problematic to find information about CPUs. Many programs produced errors and it was too difficult to understand the true source of the problems. The compiler might be defective, or the program might have design defects or oversights.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
After spending a long time trying to understand the causes of the defects in his own programs, the bear hunter, author of Biew coded his own disassembler. Perhaps the needs of the author could have been covered by existing disassemblers but it was impossible to get them, and so he wrote his own. The author of Biew was familiar with some disassemblers, like [[hiew]] and qview. But these covered only half of the author&#039;s needs. When the project achieved the functionality of [[hiew]], the author started redistributing his project to friends.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Initially Biew was closed-source, but friends helped to improve the project with new ideas, and in some cases with new code. Later, after purchasing a modem, the author decided to open the source and publish Biew on the [[Internet]]. The author understood that commercial profit from selling executables of Biew would be too low to make much money. On the other hand, attracting volunteers would permit serious improvements of the project.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
In 2000, the sources were published at [http://sourceforge.net sourceforge.net].&lt;br /&gt;
