I know of the following: 1. Matt Fichtenbaum's version originally written for Ultrix. Works on SUN OS, BSD and related flavours of Unix. Scope mode is implemented for DEC VT100/102/200 terminals only (escape sequences are hard coded). Data structure for the editing buffer yields slow insertions and deletions on medium sized to large files. (Note that this comment applies to the April 1989 version I have access to). Also has the ability to manage and display two buffers simultaneously. 2. Pete Siemsen's TECOC. Highly portable, compiles on SUN OS, VMS, MSDOS and other platforms. No scope support. Very fast. Most features of both TECO-11 and TECO-10 are implemented. I'm actually in the process of adding some sort of scope support to this for the Unix version (CURSES based). 3. TECO from the AT&T Toolchest. I've not seen this, but from the description there is no scope support. Cost is $US 450.00 for source licence. 4. There is a tiny teco which appeared in the DECUS archives. It wasn't really worth looking at considering the other alternatives. Very small subset. 5. Pete Cantrell, formerly of Alliant (now at Stardent) has a scope mode TECO. Again, I have absolutely no other information on this. I'd appreciate receiving any information from people who have used either (3) or (5) and information on other versions around. I've omitted a PDP-11 specific version for (maybe) 4.1BSD from this listing; I'm more interested in versions written in C, Pascal or some other language which is portable across multiple platforms. (1) and (2) can be obtained from the DECUS TECO archive site at usc.edu [/pub/teco] by anonymous ftp. The PDP-11 specific version I mentioned is available by anonymous ftp from apple.com.
