There is no relation between the various Lisp implementations (really ports) of the Emacs style of editor and the original TECO based implementation, any more than there is with the Algol implementation AMIS, but they are hardly toys. > PS: While I am the author of a TECO dialect (SciTECO), I have never actually > used any of the "historic" implementations.
