ADAM

ADAM is the super text editor developed from DEC's EVE editor.  Both EVE and
ADAM are written in the TPU language (ADAM calls a small amount of FORTRAN and
MACRO).  ADAM was created to correct weaknesses in EVE.  During the course of
development many enhancements have been made to increase productivity.  One set
of routines is specifically to aid in FORTRAN and DCL source code development.
The ADAM manual (ADAM.DOC in this directory) lists all features unique to ADAM
and those features which behave differently in ADAM than in EVE.  The EVE
manual remains a major reference for ADAM.

The file LADAM.COM is a procedure used to maintain text and object libraries of
FORTRAN source code.

Initialization files are now provided for partial ADAM emulation using the
public-domain Amiga editor DME (DME.LZH by Matt Dillon - ADAM.EDRC) and the
shareware IBM PC editor PC Write (by QUICKSOFT - ED.DEF).  

The file ADAM.INSTALL gives full instructions for installing ADAM.

Due to a major change in the way DEC builds EVE, the full source code for ADAM
is now included in this directory, EXCEPT FOR THE UNMODIFIED EVE SOURCE CODE
(which can be found in SYS$COMMON:[SYSHLP.EXAMPLES]).  There are deletions from
these files (see documentation).

There remains a small amount of modified EVE code (due to the nature of the
BUILD procedure).  The changes are described in EVE.CHANGES and are small
enough to be correctly reconstituted from the instructions given.
