I am trying to build the DECUS TECO with VT support

TECO came from ibiblio and the assembler listing says it is OS/8 TECO
VERSION 7. I am using MACREL-V1B. It all assembles without error, but
the linker fails with a NO ROOM message.
I can't find any information on what NO ROOM means from the MACREL
documentation.
This is using SIMH PDP8 with 32k words.
I also found MACREL V2 source, but it in in MACREL, but I have not
tried to bootstrap it using V1.
I was hoping to make source editing just a little bit easier.

What are you trying to do with TECO?
I have a OS/8 RK05 image with MACREL and the TECO source that builds
correctly. Or, did at some point.
LINKing that uses the following:
.LINK TECO<TECO,TECINI,TECO12,TECOVT,TECTBL$
*TECNUM,TECERR,TECOVX,TECOVQ,TECOVF,TECOVI,TECDEF,TECSRH$
Seems likely that the NO ROOM error is coming from the linker.
My version of the TECO code has been edited to allow ANSI terminals vice
VT52, which may be what you're trying to get to. Want a copy of the disk
image?
