8676.0. "Is TPU/EVE available for Digital UNIX?" by TENNIS::KAM (AltaVista Software 714/261-4133 DTN 535.4133) Sat Feb 01 1997 02:18

    A couple of notes refer to nu/TPU and tput.  Is this the OpenVMS
    EVE/TPU editor?  A customer wants to know if this has been
    ported/available on Digital UNIX?  
    
    I know it was ported ULTRIX/RISC.

        Some of us use the ULTRIX/RISC version translated to Digital
        UNIX by mx -- it mostly works correctly (for me) and it is my
        usual editor on Digital UNIX.

        There is also nu/TPU, a third-party editor that is
        TPU-compatible.  I don't have any experience with it (my
        initial reaction was that it costs too much!), however I do
        know it is available on many platforms including Digital UNIX
        and Windows NT and 95 -- see
        http://www.asoft-dev.com/asoft-dev/ for more info.

    Is 'mx' a built-in application?  I don't see any reference to it in the
    Docuementation Overview, Glossary, and Master Index.

It was never ported.  A few people started the work but then gave up 
for what ever reason (real work getting in the way maybe!).

Translating the MIPS code is the best attempt.

As for NU/TPU - I have not heard anything recient about their product so I 
can not comment.
