Rich, I can
tell you feel strongly, but I had never heard of Video TECO
either, so is republishing it and bringing it up to date not a good thing?
I'm sort of regretting posting Nick's announcement here, given the response
has been generally negative.
Cameron, there is a Usenet newsgroup called alt.lang.teco, as well as those
devoted to various DEC architectures and those devoted to Emacs in all its
variants, and even alt.folklore.computers (to the extent that it hasn't been
ruined). Nick does not appear to have asked in any of these fora about the
existence of video-friendly TECO implementations.
But must he? I'm sure there are billions of Commodore-related outlets that
I don't know about.
Further, the code he is publishing *AND PUTTING UNDER
LICENSE* belongs to
someone else, someone with whom he states he has not been able to contact.
That is so far from OK that I am surprised that I'm the only one who has
had anything to say about it (in public?).
That's a valid point, I didn't notice that myself. I'll mention that to him.
