The ed and vi commands are actually based upon TECO. As far as I know vi is just a visual decedent of TECO. -----Original Message----- From: IBM Mainframe Discussion List <[email protected]> On Behalf Of Leonard D Woren Sent: Monday, August 21, 2023 4:13 PM I never tried TECO, after reading "Real Programmers Don't Use PASCAL" 40 years ago. Extract: ....It has been observed that a TECO command sequence more closely resembles transmission line noise than readable text. One of the more entertaining games to play with TECO is to type your name in as a command line and try to guess what it does.... ---------------------------------------------------------------------- For IBM-MAIN subscribe / signoff / archive access instructions, send email to [email protected] with the message: INFO IBM-MAIN
