Wonder if TECO was ever ported to Linux?

It runs on DOS, NT/2K/XP?, *nix, and poised to replace vi as the

Sorry, the out-of-order posts on this list can get to be confusing,
particularly if you're not following a topic closely.

Well... not Linux -- but Unix in general. Hit google for teco and Unix

This directory contains TECO-C, a version of TECO written in C.
It was written in C so the author could move comfortably from VAX/VMS
to various other machines, including MicroVaxes, which couldn't execute
TECO-11 prior to VMS 5.0 because they don't support PDP-11 compatibility
mode. TECO32, distributed with v5.0, solved this problem.
And there are others...

Hi guys!
TECO runs fine with Linux on G3/500 PowerPC processors! Never had any
problems compiling/using it. It just kicks ass O:-)

Hi!
Erm..I could check that for you if you can send me the macro with some
usage hints.

Here is vtedit from RSTS/E 10.1. I think it is complete.
I don't know if it is OS specific or not.
Includes the 'doc' file, the compressed '.tec' version, and the
uncompressed '.tes' version.

Looks like something stripped off your attachments... And no, it's
not OS specific, though it is tied to the PDP11/VAX flavor of TECO.
(It won't run on TECO-10 or TECO-8.)

Oops. Didn't mean to post it to list. Was trying to reply direct,

I suspect that the necessary commands to handle the video, that vtedit
needs, hasn't been implemented on any C version of teco.
