EVE SET_WILDCARD_ULTRIX — VMS 5.0

 SET WILDCARD ULTRIX

 Sets Ultrix-style wildcards for WILDCARD FIND.

 Ultrix-style wildcards include the period (.) to match any single
 character within a line, and the dollar sign ($) to match end-of-line.

 Example:

    Command                   Purpose or effects
    ---------------------------------------------------------------------
    1.  SET WILDCARD ULTRIX   Sets Ultrix-style wildcards.

    2.  WILDCARD FIND b.t$    Finds strings like "bat," "bet," and "but" --
                              only at the end of a line.

 If you want to use Ultrix-style wildcards all the time, put SET WILDCARD
 ULTRIX in an initialization file.  The default is VMS.

 For a list of wildcards, use SHOW WILDCARDS.  For more examples of
 wildcard searches, see help on WILDCARD FIND.
