TECO Macros - show me the codez
-
My programming career has been blessed by an affair or two with TECO the text editor. Browsing around I can find very few examples of TECO code. So I decided to provide some for you. Wait, if you dig hard enough you can always find TECO code by guys like Stanley Rabinowtiz but what about every day, run of the mill TECO macros? For starters see DATE. Enjoy! If you spot a bug then please submit a PR. :)
Dang! My '58 Renault Dauphine has another flat tire.

Unsure what you're talking about. I used TECO a bit on the high school PDP-11 in 1983/4. It was just an editor. Most of the time when I was using OpenVMS (1986 - 2002) I used EDT and I defined a few macros for myself, but nothing special and I wouldn't call them "code".

You stuck with EDT and did not switch to EVE/TPU? Calling CodeProject:: PIEBALDconsult… Calling CodeProject:: PIEBALDconsult…
Correct. Though EDT became an option of TPU eventually -- EDIT/EDT . I never got the hang of EVE and I could never figure out how to exit it whenever I started it accidently. I still have a file of EDT macros I use when I use my OpenVMS systems (which is rare). I also knew developers who used VI rather than TPU-based editors. An amber-screen dumb terminus doesn't know the difference. Again, I don't adopt new things without some good reason to do so. I certainly prefer a screen editor to a line editor. Always consider what happens if you have to work with an older system without the new tool(s). Such as, does the version of OpenVMS/VAX I have on my MicroVAX even support TPU? (I think it does.) One reason I bought the MicroVAX is because VAX BASIC has Immediate Mode :D . About twenty years ago I was asked to write a program with only the tools installed on a fresh install of Windows XP (?) -- e.g. notepad and CSC. Developers who have no clue how to write code without an IDE may find themselves unable to make any progress. Edit: When I first learned BASIC on the PDP-11 (in 1983), the teacher taught us to use EDT in line mode (was there no screen mode yet?), but the cool kids used TECO.
