The DEC Text Processing Utility (DECTPU) provides a structured progamming language with an interpreter, compiler, and other software components, for creating text editors and other applications. DECTPU has a callable interface so you can call editing functions from a program written in BLISS, C, FORTRAN, or other language. EVE (Extensible Versatile Editor) is the default DECTPU application. You can use DECTPU to customize EVE or to create your own applications. The EVE source files are available online as examples of DECTPU programming and as a kind of run-time library of DECTPU procedures. For a list of the EVE source files, use the following DCL command: $ DIRECTORY SYS$EXAMPLES:EVE$*.TPU
