What are you trying to do with TECO?
I have a OS/8 RK05 image with MACREL and the TECO source that builds 
correctly. Or, did at some point.

LINKing that uses the following:

.LINK TECO<TECO,TECINI,TECO12,TECOVT,TECTBL$
*TECNUM,TECERR,TECOVX,TECOVQ,TECOVF,TECOVI,TECDEF,TECSRH$

Seems likely that the NO ROOM error is coming from the linker.

My version of the TECO code has been edited to allow ANSI terminals vice 
VT52, which may be what you're trying to get to. Want a copy of the disk 
image?
