The world's most nearly universally lethal editor; TECO makes typing text in command mode in vi sissy stuff; TECO is a Turing Complete language that can let you make errors that require exponential space to contain, and exponential time to analyze. I can hardly wait to bring it up as a mode in GNUemacs, with a TECO-mode command connected to a random interval generator, and give a copy to all my friends. ;-) Kent, the man from xanth. -- Yes, I really have used TECO to write FORTRAN code, on a TOPS-10 system!
