 EVE/TPU experts:

 I have about 50 files with the number "100C000" (hexadecimal) in them.  I
 need to edit all these files and replace "100C000" with "1010000."  Is it
 possible to do this through a non-interactive (automatic) process?

 Ideally I want to have a COMMAND procedure do a GLOBLAL REPLACE on
 "100C000" - something like

    $ EDIT/TPU/NOINIT/NODISplay/COMmand=SYS$INPUT in.src/OUTput=OUT.SRC
    EVE_REPLACE("100A","*!!*!!**")
    $ EXIT

 Is this possible?  I have never written or used any TPU procedures, so
 any help you can provide will greatly be appreciated.  I use EVE quite a
 bit, but as far as writing or using TPU procedures, I have never done
 that.


 Thanx,  Frank
