[fa.info-vax] Teco Madness...

GJC@MIT-MC.ARPA (George J. Carrette) (09/07/85)

Since text editors are such heavily used system programs there
comes a point when, and the lack of a hardware/microcode-implemented
PDP-11 instruction set is a good point, when TECO users are just
going to have to byte the bullet and re-implement TECO.
An implementation in C is probably most sensible. So, you serious
TECO users, go for it!

  Agreed.  Note that the TECO that is distributed by DEC is horribly
out of date anyway.  They should get the latest version from MIT.
