Hey, if you don't want your Macro11 version of TECO you can always
send it to me. I'd be glad to have it.

If you find a C source for TECO, pass one on to me. The scurulous (sp?) rumors as to COMPAT not working under 4.2 is FALSE. We run 4.2 on a -750. We also have Macsyma. Our Macsyma is running under the compatibility mode. (I don't know if there is a 4.2 version of macsyma yet or not. We don't have it if there is). It runs fine. I have no idea what (if anything) it has done to our performance. ----------------------------------------- David Herron; ARPA: "ukma!david"@ANL-MCS (Note the quote marks.)

Many others would also like TECO (or better DEC's TV) for UNIX. Any who have info. please reply in an article for all to see.

By "compatibility mode" do you mean the 4.2BSD facility that permits it to execute 4.1BSD system calls (but from native VAX code), or the ability to run PDP-11 programs in the VAX-11 compatibility mode? The reference to "a 4.2 version of MACSYMA" and the fact that you're running MACSYMA at all leads me to think you mean the former (if somebody's stuffed a LISP big enough to run MACSYMA, much less MACSYMA itself, onto a PDP-11 I'd like to shake their hand). The people asking about TECO are asking about the latter, as PDP-11 TECO is written in MACRO-11. Guy Harris {seismo,ihnp4,allegra}!rlgvax!guy

This is in response to Guy Harris's note on what exactly was
meant by "compatibility:"
We're running with the 4.1 system call compatibility, and we also have
some old PDP-11 programs running under the 'compat' program that came
on a USENIX tape eons ago. For example, one of those old tapes had a
DEC-style assembler and linking loader on it, and we run the
executables of these programs under compat -- they're used to
support our introductory computer organization/assembly language
courses.
