I've been trying to execute the TECO commands in Alice's PDP-10
<http://www.hactrn.net/sra/alice/alices.pdp10> and I keep getting an
error saying "?IFC Illegal character "^" after F". The two command
sequences given have the same form:
[1:i*^Yu14<q1&377.f"nir'q1/400.u1>^[[8
.-z(1702117120m81869946983m8w660873337m8w1466458484m8
)+z,.f^@fx*[0:ft^]0^[w^\
and
[1:i*^Yu16<q1&77.+32iq1f"l#-1/100.#-1&7777777777.'"#/100.'u1r>6c^[[6
.(675041640067.m6w416300715765.m6w004445675045.m6
455445440046.m6w576200535144.m6w370000000000.m6),.fx*[0:ft^]0^[w^\
I'm using tecoc.exe from <http://almy.us/files/tecow32.zip>.
From my reading of the documentation for TECO, the f
command is for
flow control and should be one of:
F' Flow to end of conditional
F< Flow to strt of conditional
F> Flow to end of conditional
F| Flow to else part of conditional
I'm guessing that the commands come from some sort of PDP-10 dialect of
TECO and these commands do something else in that dialect.
: is listed as modifying the next command, so is :i*....* an old way
of modifying the insert command to use *'s as the delimiter for the
text?
Would I be better off pasting these commands into the TECO on
pdpplanet?
