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).... Life can be tough for a VMS Maggot :-) I belive this is what has been said inside DEC for many years now. The VMS people want it ... the Ultrix people want them to use vi (or better still Emacs (which now has an EVE/EDT mode available on the net)). Watch this space ... your prayers may very soon be answered. ...Les... "Unix Maggot"
