Grex Garage Item 44: TECO on Grex
Entered by papa on Thu Nov 16 23:20:29 UTC 2017:

TECO, the ancient, venerated and feared, line-noise-for-command-stream
text editor is here!

I've cloned and compiled the source for TECO-C, and put the executable
and four handy soft links in my ~papa/share/bin directory:

        tecoc   - executable
        Make    - create new file
        teco    - edit old file
        inspect - view file read-only
        munge   - run a batch of macros

There is a survival guide at:

Try it if you dare!

I think the next thing to do is find source for EMACS. Will try that as a
project, maybe.

Put it in the contrib directory?

resp:1 -
Do you mean the original TECO macro Emacs? That would be a find, and
completely unreadable source for sure.

resp:2 -
tecoc, teco, Make, inspect, and munge are all now in /cyberspace/contrib/bin.

resp:3 - If I can find a version of it. From looking online, there's a
bunch of DECUS tapes that have EMACS -- but I think those are post-TECO EMACS.
There might be an ITS system out there that has an EMACS tape though. I'll
update this topic if I do find one.
