The section file is portable between architecutres. I use a .TPU$SECTION built in 1989 for editing files on my X86 instance.

Re: A Bit About EVE - Automation and programming
The attached DCL command procedure (mass_edit.com) allows a user to modify many files in a directory by prompting the user for a directory location and file type plus a search phrase. There is also a file (mass_edit.tpu) that needs to be modified prior to running the command procedure. These two files together use the EVE editor and give the user the ability to modify many files very quickly changing text. Each file must be approved by the user before it is modified. This is a nice utility to learn how to begin programming EVE and also has helped me out over the years when I needed to make simple modifications to many DCL command procedures.

So it is some form of byte code in modern terminology as opposed to native instructions.

I never noticed. I always built on new architectures. I have a TPU$CALLUSER logical pointing to a shareable image with a few utility functions that I considered useful many many years ago (it is not obvious for me today why it is useful to be able to get the process name from TPU code).

Re: A Bit About EVE
It was linked to a usenet group vmsnet.tpu and voila it is archived at Google.
https://groups.google.com/g/vmsnet.tpu
There are also a lot of spam archived, but search can likely find useful posts.
A lot of really advanced stuff was posted there over the years.
