The TECO text editor was designed to edit files that were too large to fit in memory. I used TECO on a PDP8/e minicomputer; the 8/e used 12-bit words; memory was addressed in 128-word pages and 4096-word fields.
The original implementation of Emacs was a set of "editor macros" written in TECO. Maybe this means that the old joke that every program accrues features to become more like Emacs has it wrong; every program grows to become more like TECO. *grin* -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "leo-editor" group.
