When I used EMACS under PRIMOS (don't recall the version(s)), AFAIK, it was all written in what they called SPL (System Programming Language, which was simply a subset PL/I without the builtin I/O etc.) I don't think I ever got around to using TECO.. I was too impressed by EMACS, me-thinks. ;-) -- Warren W. Gay VE3WWG http://members.home.net/ve3wwg
