EVEplus+ Version 2.0.1/VMS version 5.1 -------------------------------------- EVEplus+ is a 4-tier multi-layer keypad editing interface,with the top two layers resembling EDT. The starting point for this editing interface under TPU 1.0/VMS version 4.X was the EVEplus procedures made available by DEC on the Spring 86 DECUS tapes. Many of these procedures were mapped to the bottom two layers, and enhanced. This version of EVEplus+ supercedes the previous version released on the DECUS87(?) tape under the directory of [.........rca.ge...]. This version is compatible with VMS Version 5.X. Where possible existing code from our site and others, has been replaced with functionally equivalent DEC supported code. Many enhancements over our previous version have been made. In our virgin edition, we introduced the concept of being able to get a file into TPU by positioning the cursor on the filename and pressing select. This has been expanded so that if you press the select, and the filespec contains only a device and directory (no filename), your default is set to that location. Also pressing remove (or cut) while over a filename deletes the file from your directory. This makes it a little easier to exit when diskquotas are a problem. Many more enhancements are described in the Scribe (Scribe Systems) formatted user manual "RELEASE.MSS". A little extra we have at our site is a color-keypad. We can send one for photocopying on request. This version makes use of the call_user function, with the calluser code written in Pascal. For those not having a Pascal compiler I include the object code. TPU hacks may be interested in my approach to debugging the code, and are referred to the comments in the program "CALLTPU.C". In the file "HOW_TO_BUILD.TXT" you will find instructions on how to build the editing interface. The instructions were originally written in response to a tape sent out, so the first few steps can be ignored. We have followed the conventions reccomended by DEC in the TPU/EVE user's guide. You will need to be sure to define a couple of logicals. Known bugs...(ah ha the thing you've been waiting for). As of this writing 14-Jul-1989, the only major known bug is that the draw box is broken. There may be some minor ones buzzing around that I have forgotten about. I would be receptive to bug reports and include my bitnet mailing address below. We submit this code in the open spirit of DECUS and hope it will be of use entire or in pieces to others. Since it's nonsense to be hubris and try to copyright code based on copyrighted DEC code, the only copyright we claim is for the documentation.
