Fellow TECO users ,
We're on VMS 4.5 and have just migrated from a VAX 11/780
with RM05 disks to a VAX 8250 with RA60 (system) and RA81
(user) disks.
For some reason, $EDIT/TECO no longer works and gives the
following ERROR message :
%LIB-E-ACTIMAGE, error activating image DJA0:[SYS0.][SYSLIB]CEM$EMULATOR.EXE;
-RMS-E-FNF, file not found
(were DJA0: is the NEW system disk device name)
I have tried this on other 4.5 systems and it works fine. I have
even copied over the sys$system:TECO.EXE file from other
systems were it does work with no change in results.
The file that claims to be missing on MY system does not exist on
other systems were $EDIT/TECO works fine.
Can anyone help ?? The TECO users on our system are anxiously
waiting for me to do something.
Send any messages to me DIRECTLY as I am not on INFOVAX
mailing list.
Thank You

Fellow TECO users, Wow! Nice to see I'm not the only one left! We're on VMS 4.5 and have just migrated from a VAX 11/780 with RM05 disks to a VAX 8250 with RA60 (system) and RA81 (user) disks. ...$EDIT/TECO no longer works and gives the following ERROR message: %LIB-E-ACTIMAGE, error activating image DJA0:[SYS0.][SYSLIB]CEM$EMULATOR.EXE; -RMS-E-FNF, file not found (were DJA0: is the NEW system disk device name) ... TECO V40, which is what you get with VMS V4.5, is a curiosity, an image that runs half in native mode, half in compatibility (PDP-11) mode. (Basically, the TECO interpreter runs in compatibility mode - it's the same code that runs on -11's. The I/O system, which comes in different flavors on -11's to deal with different OS's, on VMS switches back to native mode.) The VAX 8000 series does not support compatibility mode in hardware. Hence, TECO would normally not work at all - in fact, Version 39 could not be made to work. Version 40, on the other hand, has the hooks necessary to run under the PDP-11 instruction set emulator - CEM$EMULATOR. CEM$EMULATOR does not ship with VMS - it's part of the VAX-11 RSX layered product. It was announced at the last DECUS that Version 5 of VMS would ship with a new, all-native TECO. If you can wait 'till then.... -- Jerry ------

If you can't wait for version 5, someone did post a C source for a TECO clone
a few weeks ago....
