- I have the source to a 6502 assembly implementation of the TECO (Text
- Editor and Corrector) editor. For those of you unfamiliar with TECO,
- it is essentially an assembly language for writing editors. The
- original Emacs was written in TECO. (TECO is very old; it can trace
- its roots back to the PDP-1 at MIT. Then the T stood for "Tape",
- not "Text".)
-
- The version I have was written for a custom 6502 operating system. The
- functions it uses seem to be fairly straightforward and should be easily
- mapped to those provided by the Apple. The source is well commented
- and I can relay questions to the author should the need arise.
-
- Anyway, if someone is interested in looking at this and doing a port to
- the Apple, please let me know. I'd prefer not to post the source directly
- since:
- (1) many people will assume it works on the Apple // and will be
- disappointed when it doesn't.
- (2) effort may be unknowingly duplicated and thus wasted.
-
- If several people are interested a mailing list could be set up to handle
- communication between the various parties.
