I'm looking for any useful TECO macros in the public domain. Also any TECO manuals, preferably in machine-readable form. If anyone happens to know the answers to any of the following questions, I'd sure appreciate hearing them. Is there a small version of EMACS TECO macro suitable for implementation on a micro with V29 TECO? (Specifically, I have a V29 TECO implementation on a 6502 based micro). I've seen two screen editor macros for TECO on a RSTS system; VTEDIT (for VT100's), and VT52 (a small editor for VT52's). Are these considered in the public domain? Are they DEC copyrighted? Or what? Is there a TECO specification other than the DEC TECO manuals? There was an active DEC TECO SIG at one point. I understand a newsletter was published with discussions of extensions, and possibly specifications for V29 and later. Anyone know where I might aquire backissues of these newsletters? I'm hoping to bring my 6502 TECO to market in the future, and have no great desire to write a manual from scratch. Any available software (screen editor macros, text justification, etc.) that would help make TECO successful would be much appreciated. There seems to be a lot of interest in TECO still, and hopefully bringing it to micros in affordable form will keep interest in TECO alive. Much thanks in advance, Bob Ankeney tektronix!reed!omsi
