VFE is a type-insensitive editor that can edit user disk files
in block or record mode, and disk devices and FOREIGN-mounted tapes
in block mode.  Data can be displayed in ASCII, EBCDIC, hex, integer,
and binary format.  User-defined sections of data from single records
and single or multiple contiguous blocks can be changed, compared, and
transferred within a file or between files.  Records within RMS files
can be changed, added or deleted, regardless of application data format.
A very fast search is provided which can target a string, hex or integer
constant.  All or part of a terminal session can be logged to a
sequential file for later lineprinter output.

     For more information, see VFE.DOC.

     This is the third release of VFE, which is the first level to
support record access.  If you are a user of the second release, which
was included with the Fall 1985 VAX SIG tapes, be sure to see VFENEW.DOC.

     This utility was originally presented at the "VAX magic" session
of the Fall 1984 DECUS symposium.  An overview session was given at the
Fall 1987 symposium (additional documentation is available in the VAX SIG
session notes for Fall '87).  Submitted by:
