<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>
