RECOVER BUFFER ALL

 Recovers all your text buffers---one at a time--by using the journal files
 for the buffers.  You can recover buffers from different editing sessions.

 The effect is the same as repeating RECOVER BUFFER without having to
 specify buffer names or journal file names.

 Steps:

 1.  If a system failure interrupts your editing session, invoke EVE again,
     using the DCL command EDIT/TPU.  You need not use the /RECOVER
     qualifier.

 2.  Use RECOVER BUFFER ALL.

 3.  EVE then tries to recover each text buffer for which there is a
     journal file available.  For each text buffer, EVE displays
     information such as the buffer name, the files associated with the
     buffer, and the time and date the journal file was created.  EVE
     prompts you to choose one of the following:

        YES .... (Default.)  Recovers the buffer, and then asks whether
                 to recover the next buffer for which there is a buffer-
                 change journal file, if any.

        NO ..... Skips this recovery.  If there is another buffer to
                 recover, EVE shows information about that buffer and
                 asks whether to recover the buffer.

        QUIT ... Cancels---does NOT recover the buffer and does not
                 continue recovery operations.

 Usage notes:

 o  Recovery with buffer-change journal files restores only your text---it
    does NOT restore settings, key definitions, or the contents of system
    buffers (such as the Insert Here buffer) before the system failure.

 o  The recovery does not re-create deleted files.  If you deleted or
    renamed the source file associated with a buffer-change journal file,
    the recovery fails.  The source file is either the file initially read
    into the buffer (if any), or the last version of the file written from
    the buffer before the system failure.

 o  If there is more than one version of a buffer-change journal file---for
    example, there may be two or more MAIN.TPU$JOURNAL files from different
    editing sessions---the recovery uses the highest version number
    available.

 +------------------------------  NOTE  -------------------------------+
 | Although journaling and recovery are quite reliable, the safest way |
 | to protect your work against a system failure is to write out your  |
 | edits frequently---particularly during all-day editing sessions.    |
