A much better TECO (i.e. more faithful to the DEC ver-
sion) is called TED and available from:
Small Systems Design
P.O. Box 4596
Manchester, N.H.
03108
This version is about $150 but well worth it if you also
use TECO on a DEC machine, since it will not screw you up with
slightly changed commands. For example, the CDL Z-Tel uses 'y'
for verify instead of 'v'. Obviously this could really screw you
up if you do lots of things like: <sfred$;3dibob$v>$$. ('y' is
meant to be 'yank' the next buffer full.) Also the SSD TED has
available a macro that does screen editing on a H89 (VT52) (simi-
lar to the screen editor macro that DEC gives away). TED also
comes with a macro to convert Intel 8080 mnemonics to Zilog
mnemonics (I have modified mine to also do TDL (oops, I mean
'CDL') mnemonics as well).
I can't say enough good about TED as an editor. I have
no connection with SSD or CDL whatsoever.

p.s. If you do write a TECO, please include regular expressions like
Unix's 'ed' has. That's the only shortcoming TECO has.

Please remember that Emacs is based around RMS's hacked version of
TECO, and someone's DEC flavored CP/M TECO will not run Emacs without
extensive modifications.
