+ TECO /tee'koh/ /n.,v. obs./ 1. [originally an acronym for `[paper]
+ Tape Editor and COrrector'; later, `Text Editor and COrrector'] /n./
+ A text editor developed at MIT and modified by just about everybody.
+ With all the dialects included, TECO may have been the most prolific
+ editor in use before EMACS, to which it was directly ancestral.
+ Noted for its powerful programming-language-like features and its
+ unspeakably hairy syntax. It is literally the case that every string
+ of characters is a valid TECO program (though probably not a useful
+ one); one common game used to be mentally working out what the TECO
+ commands corresponding to human names did.
+
+ In mid-1991, TECO is pretty much one with the dust of history,
+ having been replaced in the affections of hackerdom by EMACS.
+ Descendants of an early (and somewhat lobotomized) version adopted
+ by DEC can still be found lurking on VMS and a couple of crufty
+ PDP-11 operating systems, however, and ports of the more advanced
+ MIT versions remain the focus of some antiquarian interest.
