Uh, this might be a really dumb question and open me up to flames, but...

Why doesn't the Ultrix group port (if such a thing could be done) EVE to 
Ultrix and bundle it in with the Ultrix release? I know I can go third-party,
but...geepers... for we VMS maggots who have to walk into the ULTRIX world, it
would be a great help (instead of using vi, or GNU-pig-EMACS)....
