It's been a long time, but I used eve/tpu as my main editor for
several years back when I did embedded SW development on VMS.  I was
an ex-Unix user, so I used DECShell a lot -- even though it was
painfully slow.  The entire Unix philosophy is based on the assumption
that process creation is inexpensive, and I was told process creation
on VMS was _very_ expensive, so Bourne shell scripts that would have
taken second under Unix took minutes under VMS.
