	This submission contains the latest version of APLTPU, a highly
	enhanced version of DEC's EDT Emulator.  This version of APLTPU
	works under VMS V4.4-4.7 and VMS 5.x.     Included are files to
	build APLTPU for whichever version of VMS you are using.

	This submission also includes APLEVE, which is APLTPU converted
	to be based on EVE rather then the EDT Emulator.    APLEVE also
	contains enhancements over and above APLTPU. APLEVE is intended
	to replace APLTPU.    APLEVE requires VMS version 5.0 or later.

	Enhancements to the DEC EDT Emulator and EVE include:

		- Easy split screen editing
		- Rectangular CUT/PASTE
		- Improved define key (learn key)
		- Advanced positioning commands
		- Selected substitution
		- Centering, trimming, case setting
		- Control character and space/tab conversion
		- User definable "word" setting
		- Full online help
		- Initialization files to allow users to tailor APLTPU
		  and APLEVE options, including their own word definitions, 
		  using APLTPU/APLEVE commands rather than programming in 
		  VAXTPU.
		- A DCL buffer to execute DCL commands
		- Wildcards for "reference" files in split screen edit
		- Margin support
		- Bug fixes and other minor new features
