I have the source to a 6502 assembly implementation of the TECO (Text Editor and Corrector) editor. For those of you unfamiliar with TECO, it is essentially an assembly language for writing editors. The original Emacs was written in TECO. (TECO is very old; it can trace its roots back to the PDP-1 at MIT. Then the T stood for "Tape", not "Text".) The version I have was written for a custom 6502 operating system. The functions it uses seem to be fairly straightforward and should be easily mapped to those provided by the Apple. The source is well commented and I can relay questions to the author should the need arise. Anyway, if someone is interested in looking at this and doing a port to the Apple, please let me know. I'd prefer not to post the source directly since: (1) many people will assume it works on the Apple // and will be disappointed when it doesn't. (2) effort may be unknowingly duplicated and thus wasted. If several people are interested a mailing list could be set up to handle communication between the various parties. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- To get something posted to comp.sources.apple2, send it to: Internet: jac@paul.rutgers.edu UUCP: rutgers!paul.rutgers.edu!jac Please mark comments that are not to be posted with "Not for Posting".
