TECO lives!  I maintain the DECUS TECO Collection, which includes 3
TECOs written in C, lots of TECO macros, two EMACS-like macro packages
for TECO-11, the newer (May 1985) version of DEC's Standard TECO
manual, a TECO in 6502 assembly language, and more.

One of the TECOs in C was written by me, and runs on VMS, MS-DOS and
is partially ported to Unix.  It has all TECO-11's commands except W,
which is the interface to video support.  Matt Fichtenbaum's TECO in C
for Unix is also in the Collection, and it supports video to VT100s.
Paul Cantrell's TECO in C in in the Collection in executable-only form
for SunOS.  Paul has ported it to the Macintosh native OS, VMS and
several Unixes.

You can order the Collection from DECUS.  The DECUS version is
slightly out-of-date.  If you want TECO for 6502s or TECO for MS-DOS,
send me mail.

TECO is no match for GNU EMACS,  but it does fit into small amounts of
memory and let you edit large files,  and provides great power once the
language is mastered.
