Of course vi is functionally similar to TECO, with the same "[count]
command
[argument ESC]" syntax; merely a few of the command names are
different (It's
those emacs guys that strayed far from the true path). Plus you get
regular
expressions.
With a
half :-)
<giggle> Do they make TECO for a Mac?
$ port install teco
---> Fetching TECO
OMG, they really do have TECO for Mac!

"TECO for Mac OS X. Well, I must admit that nobody has asked for this,
but here it is anyway. It's in a gzipped tar archive. A very teletype
oriented ASCII text editor for a very GUI-based system, one for which
most users never use a command line, might seem a bit strange. In any
case, I feel that anyone who can extract the executable and put in in
the path is qualified to use it. This archive contains all
documentation as well as sources which you can recompile, from the
command line, using Apple Xcode."
Loading it now!
