You can find all sorts of TECO goodies available by anonymous ftp from
usc.edu in ~ftp/pub/teco. This TECO archive is maintained by Pete
Siemsen, siemsen%sol.usc.edu@usc.edu.

The usc.edu archive includes two versions for Unix. One was originally 
written for Ultrix by Matt Fichtenbaum and features a VT100
scope mode (also runs under Sun OS). A version of the Ultrix Teco
was posted to comp.sources.unix (volume 9).

The other version (TECOC) runs nicely on MSDOS and VMS and with a
little hacking also works well under SUN OS. The work on the Sun OS
port is almost completed. This version has a couple of advantages over
the Ultrix version, namely that data structures for the editing buffer
are generally more efficient and that the code was written with
portability to other operating systems in mind.
