Program: EDT.TEC, DRAW.TEC (runs on TECO V35 or V36)
Author: Robin Miller
Date: 1981

EDT.TEC is a teco macro which emulates version 2 of EDT (known as ED2
on RSX-11M). It was written before ED2 was released to the REAL world
since I got tired of waiting for DEC. Since it is written in TECO, it
puts a much heavier load on the system than ED2. The actual macro is
about half the size of VTEDIT.TEC (but no faster) since I've placed all
the help information in a file called TECEDT.HLP. Although it doesn't
get much use now that ED2 is released, it still comes in useful since
TECO has many features for complicated editing which ED2 doesn't. The
major use of EDT.TEC now is on RT11 systems where ED2 doesn't exist and
where the response time is very good.

Extensive documentation exists in the unsquished macro (EDT.TES) which
makes it much easier to modify than VTEDIT from DEC ever was. About the
only ED2 key not implemented, is CTRL/K for define key. I have CTRL/K
setup to kill the output file and exit. Also CTRL/E is very useful to
exit and go (TECO V36 only). Its spawns a command line of the form
"FOO filnam.ext" which another program or command file can pickup and
automatically do something with it.

DRAW.TEC is basically EDT.TEC with the ability to do drawing. By typing
the GOLD (PF1) key twice, you go into drawing mode which then allows the
arrow keys to draw a specified character (* by default). The drawing
character can be changed by typing CTRL/G and specifying the character
to draw with.
