   There's something very satisfying in scanning old manuals for contribution to bitsavers. TECO - PDP10 - 1968.

     Loved teco and would have preferred it over vi as a default editor in Unix. Emacs would be out for me because I need something always installed since I can bounce between systems to much.

     Maybe the biggest problem was needing to step through files buffering in our out sections. Note necessary on modern systems.
