Ah, but it does! ;-)
Check out http://www.funet.fi/pub/unix/editors/teco/
They are not the "real thing", though, but re-implementations in C,
and they generally need a wee bit of tweaking to get them to
compile on Linux.
I got TECO-C working here, but I can't verify that it is fully
working as it should.
The AAREADME.TXT says:
" TECO-C is meant to be a complete implementation of TECO as defined
by the Standard TECO User's Guide, which is in file TECO.DOC. There is no
manual for TECO-C itself, but the Standard TECO manual was the
specification
for TECO-C, so it serves as an excellent manual."
The ptf-teco that I saw Adam mention is an updated version of
the uteco you find at funet.fi. Uteco was last updated in 1989,
ptf-teco was last updated in 1995, and TECO-C was last updated
in 1991.
Any other versions around?
