EVE SET_WILDCARD_ULTRIX — VMS 5.1-B

 SET WILDCARD ULTRIX

 Sets Ultrix-style wildcards for WILDCARD FIND.

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

 Example:

    The following commands find a string like "bat," "bet," or "but" only
    at the end of a line:

       SET WILDCARD ULTRIX
       WILDCARD FIND b.t$

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