Abstract: This directory contains the Teradyne-enhanced EVE editor, as described in the Spring 1993 Atlanta Encompass Symposium session #LT050, presented on 7/6/93.

Some of the unique features which are available in this implementation are:

• Everything that you currently know about EDT will still work in EVE
• Integrated Spelling Checker to check the spelling of the text within the current buffer
• Option to write the contents of a select range to file
• Word capitalization
• Line centering
• Auto-text indentation
• Buffer sorting option
• Buffer pad/trim trailing spaces

These are, of course, in addition to all of the other standard features that you get with normal EVE, such as:

• Insert/Overstrike editing modes
• DCL access from within the editor - Examples: Read and Send MAIL from within the editor, Execute DCL commands (such as DIR), storing output in an EVE buffer
• Multiple windows
• Rectangular (box) cut and paste
• Automatic prompting of whether you want to save each modified buffer
• Automatic confirmation of QUIT, if any changes were made
• Wildcard characters allowed in most filespecs and directories
• Exiting the editor will create a new version, only if changes were made
• Learn key sequence similar to the old KED editor
• Very easy key re-definitions
• Interactive or Batch job execution
• Separate journal files for each buffer
• Search and replace Yes/No/All/Last/Quit option
• Searching for text separated by "whitespace"
• Searching for text patterns (similar to Unix)
• Extensible
