ADAM

Because of copyright problems with DEC, the full TPU source code for ADAM
cannot be provided.  The source code to the user-callable routine is provided.
The source code for all routines generated by the authors and the modified
EVEPLUS routines (from DECUS) are provided in the file EVE.CHANGES.  In
addition, the changes to EVE procedures are described in this file.  A truely
tenacious programmer should be able to reconstruct the source code from
this file and the EVE.TPU source provided by DEC.


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 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. 

One feature of ADAM that deserves special comment is the HELP MERLIB command
of the FRED dialect.  This HELP command returns interface information for
the ARTA-wide programmer's library (MERLIB).  This library is available
through ARTA and DECUS as part of the FORTRAN Programming Tools package.

The file ADAMINS.TXT gives full instructions for installing ADAM.
