RECOVER BUFFER ALL

  Recovers all your text buffers---one at a time--by using the journal files
  for the buffers. You can recover buffers from different editing sessions.

  The effect is the same as repeating the RECOVER BUFFER command without
  having to specify buffer names or journal file names.

  Steps:

  1.  If a system failure interrupts your editing session, invoke EVE again.
      You need not use the /RECOVER qualifier and you need not specify a
      file.

  2.  Use the RECOVER BUFFER ALL command in EVE.

  3.  EVE then tries to recover each text buffer for which there is a
      journal file available. For each text buffer, EVE displays information
      such as the buffer name, the files associated with the buffer, and the
      time and date the journal file was created. EVE prompts you to choose
      one of the following:

      YES .... (Default.)   Recovers the buffer, and then asks whether
               to recover the next buffer for which there is a buffer-
               change journal file, if any.

      NO ..... Skips this recovery.  If there is another buffer to
               recover, EVE shows information about that buffer and
               asks whether to recover the buffer.

      QUIT ... Cancels---does NOT recover the buffer and does not
               continue recovery operations.

  Usage notes:

  o  Recovery with buffer-change journal files restores only your text---it
     does NOT restore settings, key definitions, or the contents of system
     buffers (such as the INSERT HERE buffer) before the system failure.

  o  The recovery does not re-create deleted files or buffers. If you
     deleted or renamed the source file associated with a buffer-change
     journal file, the recovery fails. The source file is either the file
     initially read into the buffer (if any), or the last version of the
     file written from the buffer before the system failure.

  o  If there is more than one version of a buffer-change journal file---for
     example, there may be two or more MAIN.TPU$JOURNAL files from different
     editing sessions---the recovery uses the highest version number
     available.

  o  You can recover buffers from different editing sessions. For a list of
     all the journal files available, use the asterisk wildcard (*):

        Command: RECOVER BUFFER *

     EVE then lists the available journal files so you can choose the one
     you want---see help on Choices Buffer. Alternatively, to get a list of
     your buffer-change journal files, use the following command:

        Command: DCL DIRECTORY TPU$JOURNAL:*.TPU$JOURNAL;*

  +---------------------------------------------------------------------+
  | Although journaling and recovery are quite reliable, the safest way |
  | to protect your work against a system failure is to write out your  |
  | edits frequently---particularly during all-day editing sessions.    |
