ADAM is a powerful text editor based on EVE, the Extensible VAX Editor from
DEC.  Major changes have been made to EVE to increase power, flexibility, and
scope. The ADAM editor has a builtin "FRED" dialect which may be entered by
invoking the editor with the FRED command or editing a FORTRAN source code. 
FRED has special modifications useful for editing FORTRAN files.  A mode for
editing DCL command language files is also provided.  

Enhancements, this release:  New commands, new PWE interface, improved
documentation, EVE 5.4 compatible

Keywords:  TPU, Tools-Software Development, editor, FORTRAN, DCL, EVE
