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:
That's "eff control at" rather than "eff uparrow". From the TECO
ORDER
file:
<m>,<n>F^@
returns 2 values, which are <m> and <n> in numerical order. Thus,
"1,2F^@" and "2,1F^@" both return 1,2.
"<m>,<n>F^@T" is the same as
"<m>,<n>T" except that the former will never cause a
"2<1" error.
OK. I tried ^^@ to simulate Ctrl-@ but it still didn't seem to like
it. I think its the dialect more than my inability to type Ctrl-@ and
get something useful.
Would I be
better off pasting these commands into the TECO on
pdpplanet?
Just typing TECO on the Toad-1 will get you TECO-10, as will "R TECO" on
the 2065. You need to run EMACS to get into an MIT TECO environment, then
type <ESC><ESC> to get into a TECO command buffer ("minibuffer").
Cut-and-paste does not work, because that's printable character-based, so
you have to type in the strings (at least, the control characters) directly.
Execute by typing <ESC>ESC>.
OK, I will try this. Thanks for not ruining the surprise by telling
me the output :-).
