<div class="moz-cite-prefix">Nice. the Rainbow was my first working
PC. I loved it. It had a math coprocessor (that I upgraded), z80
and 8088, with 1MB ram (that I upgraded it to, from 128k), ran
Autocad! MSDOS 3.10b, CP/M and it was the machine I used with a
300baud modem to download the pre 1.0 slackware - kermit/xmodem
through a VMS gateway to the internet - 1993/1994. I didn't have
emacs though! I think I remember Ultrix or something like that,
but I didn't run it.<br>

<div>There are certainly teco implementations for Unix,
although I don't know if it was ever anyone's default
editor aInywhere. Indeed, there are multiple
implementations: I switched from a C teco
implementation to pyteco in the Rubin Science Platform
JupyterLab implementation (its utility is of course
dubious, but this is part of both my nefarious plan to
make Jupyter not merely mean "Julia, Python, and R",
but to use that "e" -- and reassociate it with the "t"
-- by making it mean "Julia, Python, Teco, and R", and
also to include an easter egg for a fellow project
member who is a teco fan).<br>

The first Emacs I used was GNU emacs at already
version...16 or something? In 1989, on ... I don't
remember what the main system I used at the UT Austin
Chaos Lab was, actually; we had an SGI Iris, but that
wasn't the machine I did my editing on. But by 1989 it
was certainly well-available and established.</div>

<div> <font face="Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif">As a
longtime user and lover of ed/ex/vi, I don't know
much about emacs, but lately I've been using it
more (as it seems like any self-respecting lisper,
has to at least have a passing acquaintance with
it). I recently went off and got MACLISP running
in ITS. As part of that exploration, I used EMACS,
but not just any old emacs, emacs in it's first
incarnation as a set of TECO macros. To me, it
just seemed like EMACS. I won't bore you with the
details - imagine lots of control and escape
sequences, many of which are the same today as
then. This was late 70's stuff.<br>
<br>
My question for the group is - when did emacs
arrive in unix and was it a full fledged text
editor when it came or was it sitting on top of
some other subssystem in unix? Was TECO ever on
unix?<br>
