the eve editor works nicely on my decstation5000-120.
(a nightmare for a vax/vms-fan)

the file cycling is simulated by appending a .1 .2 .3  etc.
to the file name. I feel comfortable to have the cycling feature
under Ultrix, too.

My question: does anybody know a feature to also simulate
the purge (eventually with the /keep=n option) command
known from VMS?

regards,
Peter Hermann
