BTW, Thanks #TECO power (Tampa Electric Power)! We had a couple of outages for a few seconds last night, but the work they've done in the last year to strengthen the grid seems to have helped a LOT! 🙏

I lost my sources to TED and other things a long time ago, except for copies on floppy disks such as this one. TED here is on an 8" disk. If something exists but you can't get at it, is it real?
TED was an editor for CP/M, roughly equivalent to TEC124 (TECO), in many ways a superset of it. It was my second TECO, the first was for an OS on a HP21MX computer. The native editor on that system was pretty bad, it almost required replacing.
But I digress. (from what?).
An example #TECO macro from the "HRSTS TECO MANUAL" 2nd ed, Harvard 1977. #retrocomputing #rcsri #emacs

@me_ Great, thank you. I'm glad Tcl has its field of application. I could find more info looking up "FPGA Tcl".
As for #Emacs, well, even if a string-processing language was inadequate for #TECO that didn't mean it was inadequate for other applications. And it seems the days of calling scripting languages not *real* programming languages are now gone.
BTW, #Tcl subtly looked like a mix of Lisp with PHP to a subjective me 🙂
I said to TECO-64 author:”I want search and replace Unicode, TECOC can but your #TECO can’t”
“No way! I’m embarrassed if TECOC can do something TECO-64 can’t”
Now TECO-64 can be used to edit UTF-8 on UNIXs, still you have to figure out the byte sequences yourself.
I'm a bit surprised there is people making new versions of #TECO. This version has a much cleaner code base than TECOC and is well documented.
@ian Damn right. Though I hope they don't start having votes on it :)
We went through decades of this with #IRC, when #Eris forked off the main universe, to create #EFNet, then the major forks of #Undernet, #Dalnet and #IRCNet - I suppose the big difference here is that different servers can allow different functionality within the same galaxy.
We just need to bring back #SixDegrees and the only change we need to make on it, is to make sure that the only post editor is #TECO

@ke7yxz @ingwar @vertigo @ids1024 #vim #NeoVim #Emacs #Teco Wow! That brings back memories of ancient times… Teco… Wasn’t there a key combination like PF1-PF4-NUM4-NUM1-NUM. that called #Zeus? Or was it #Athene? Since it was in one of my previous incarnations, I have only a vague memory. Was it maybe even #AhuraMazda? … I am really getting old. When I was young, I could remember every key combi, every detail and every deity… *sigh*

Some of the previous posts on #TECO were pretty good, sadly they stopped in 2020.
One thing I have found on #Mastodon is that niche interests seem to have a #Hashtag following ( I am looking at you, #Tardigrade and #Lichen )
So I have decided that we need to ressurect poor old #TECO
So here's one I started a few weeks (years/decades) earlier, and never managed to finish because it was basically an impossible task:

Out into the world you go, #TECO - #Fly Away!
What poor hashtag followers can I annoy... Lessee: #writer #editor #code #QuicheEaters

#Emacs was fun and cute back when it was a #TECO macro package. These days it's just fun.
For those interested in #emacs you might get a kick reading
https://www.multicians.org/mepap.html
It's an in-depth brain dump by Bernard S. Greenberg, author of #multics emacs c.a. 1979. His was the first Emacs to use lisp as it's extension language and probably the only one to have it's source code comments in a mixture of Yiddish and #Latin.
Gives background on #teco and the early creation of Emacs that was NOT done by #rms
I happened to use this as an programming intern around 1981
