TECO...

On a PDP-11/70 I used many years ago under RSTS/E,
we also got the message 'Not war?' in response
to 'make love.' In this case, it WAS teco that
produced the response - the file [1,2]teco.tec
contained a teco program that interpreted user
commands, and it had that message in it. Under
RSTS/E, teco had its own run-time-system, so
you could put teco commands into a file, make the
file extension '.tec' then just 'run' the file!
i.e.,
the file test.tec contains
^A this is a test ^A$$

and you say

run test

you would get the message 'this is a test!'
