        A much better TECO (i.e. more faithful to  the  DEC  ver-
sion) is called TED and available from:
        Small Systems Design
        P.O. Box 4596
        Manchester, N.H.
        03108

        This version is about $150 but well worth it if you  also
use  TECO  on  a DEC machine, since it will not screw you up with
slightly changed commands. For example, the CDL  Z-Tel  uses  'y'
for verify instead of 'v'.  Obviously this could really screw you
up if you do lots of things like:  <sfred$;3dibob$v>$$.  ('y'  is
meant  to  be 'yank' the next buffer full.)  Also the SSD TED has
available a macro that does screen editing on a H89 (VT52) (simi-
lar  to  the  screen editor macro that DEC gives away).  TED also
comes with a macro to  convert  Intel  8080  mnemonics  to  Zilog
mnemonics  (I  have  modified  mine  to also do TDL (oops, I mean
'CDL') mnemonics as well).
        I can't say enough good about TED as an editor.   I  have
no connection with SSD or CDL whatsoever.

p.s. If you do write a TECO, please include regular expressions like
Unix's 'ed' has.  That's the only shortcoming TECO has.
