No. It's TECO INTERNATIONAL, "a group of companies with over 70 years

types of glass..."
It also says "...TECO (TM) [is a] registered tradmark of Toledo
Engineering Co., Inc."
Oh no! Someone's taken over www.teco.com and
it's not about the editor
anymore!
Can't get it to come up, is it the folks that make the clips and brackets
for tying lumber together? I got a kick out of sticking TECO clips all over
the roof when I rebuilt my garage... "TE CO" also seems to be a common
failure mode for TEXACO gas station signs. EDT *is* a line editor, until you (or your init file)
type CHANGE that is.
I count four different editors hiding inside EDT:
1. Original non-keypad change mode (from EDT V1), annoying modal thing
like "vi" but of course totally different (SET CHANGE NOKEYPAD gets you
this IIRC).
2. Line mode, when you haven't typed CHANGE yet.
3. CHANGE mode on a VT100 etc. (what we're all used to)
4. CHANGE mode on a hardcopy terminal. Bizarre!
I've never done any real work with modes 2 and 4. I'm only in mode 2
long enough to say CHANGE.
And you've completely ignored the possibility of running mode 3 on
a VT52...
I feel sure I've asked this before and probably
been answered but, if SOS
is Son Of Stopgap, just how bad was the original Stopgap Editor? :-)
I once heard rumors, but I've completely forgotten them so that now I
can just spread rumors that there once were rumors about Stopgap.
