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

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

   1) Everything that you currently know about EDT will still work in EVE
   2) Integrated Spelling Checker to check the spelling of the text within the
      current buffer
   3) Option to write the contents of a select range to file
   4) Word capitalization
   5) Line centering
   6) Auto-text indentation
   7) Buffer sorting option
   8) 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:

   1) Insert/Overstrike editing modes
   2) 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
   3) Multiple windows
   4) Rectangular (box) cut and paste
   5) Automatic prompting of whether you want to save each modified buffer
   6) Automatic confirmation of QUIT, if any changes were made
   7) Wildcard characters allowed in most filespecs and directories
   8) Exiting the editor will create a new version, only if changes were made
   9) LEARN key sequence similar to the old KED editor
  10) Very easy key re-definitions
  11) Interactive or Batch job execution
  12) Separate journal files for each buffer
  13) Search and replace Yes/No/All/Last/Quit option
  14) Searching for text separated by "whitespace"
  15) Searching for text patterns (similar to Unix)
  16) Extensible...

To install this editor for use, perform the following steps:

   1) Log into an account which has at least the SYSPRV, CMKRNL, SYSNAM, and
      EXQUOTA privileges.

   2) Create a directory to contain all of the distributed files.

   3) Create 2 system-wide logical names (TOOLS and SPELL_DIR) which will refer
      to the directory which was just created (probably placing the definitions
      in SYS$MANAGER:SYSTARTUP_V5.COM).

      Example (assuming that the directory is called SYS$SYSDEVICE:[TOOLS]):
	$ ASSIGN/SYSTEM SYS$SYSDEVICE:[TOOLS] TOOLS
	$ ASSIGN/SYSTEM SYS$SYSDEVICE:[TOOLS] SPELL_DIR

   4) Install the MRPGRP EVE Section Files (probably placing the command
      procedure execution in SYS$MANAGER:SYSTARTUP_V5.COM) with the following
      command:

	$ @TOOLS:INSTALL_SECTION

   5) Ensure that W:RE protection is set on the following files:

	MRPGRP_EVE.EVE
	MRPGRP_EVE.TPU$SECTION
	MRPGRP_EVE_NOREV.TPU$SECTION
	MRPGRP_TPU.EXE
	SPELL.DAT
	SPELL.EXE

   6) For each person which wants to use the enhanced EVE:

	a) Add the following line to their LOGIN.COM file:

		$ @TOOLS:EVE_DEF

	b) Print a copy of EVE.DOC, so that each person knows what additional
	   commands and keys have been defined.

	c) Have them run EVE by typing:  EDIT/TPU
	   (or have them create an EVE symbol in their LOGIN.COM file which
	    will run EDIT/TPU when EVE is typed by the user)

   7) Enjoy!

Note:  There should be little reason to recompile and rebuild the Extended EVE
       Section files, but if there is a need to do so (such as adding your own
       special EVE functions to this editor), you can simply do so by typing:

         @TOOLS:MAKE_NEW_SECTION
