INSTALLATION INSTRUCTIONS

The source for TECO-8 version 40 consists of 13 modules:

Module		Description

TECO.MAC	Main body of TECO
TECINI.MAC	Initialization code
TECTBL.MAC	Main dispatch tables
TECO12.MAC	VR12 support (for PDP-12)
TECOVT.MAC	VT support (for VT05, VT52, and VT100)
TECNUM.MAC	Arithmetic commands
TECERR.MAC	Error module
TECOVX.MAC	X-Overlay
TECOVQ.MAC	Q-Overlay
TECOVF.MAC	F-Overlay
TECOVI.MAC	I/O-Overlay
TECSRH.MAC	Search commands
TECDEF.MAC	Global definitions

These should be assembled with MACREL (Version 2) as follows:

.MAC TECO
.MAC TECINI
.MAC TECTBL
.MAC TECO12
.MAC TECOVT
.MAC TECNUM
.MAC TECERR
.MAC TECOVX
.MAC TECOVQ
.MAC TECOVF
.MAC TECOVI
.MAC TECSRH
.MAC TECDEF

or if your monitor supports wild-card compile-class commands, these
can be assembled with the command: (CCL V40 will do)

.MAC TEC???.MAC   .

The resulting 13 relocatable binary modules should be linked using
LINK (Version 2) as follows:

.LINK TECO,TECINI,TECO12,TECOVT,TECTBL$
*TECNUM,TECERR,TECOVX,TECOVQ,TECOVF,TECOVI,TECDEF,TECSRH$

to produce the runnable image, TECO.SV, which you should put on SYS:
or DSK0: if running under Multi-8.
The distribution kit contains the following files:

TECO.SV		A running version of TECO-8 V40
*.MAC		The 13 source files for TECO-8
*.RB		The relocatable binary files used to create TECO.SV
TECO.MP		The link map for TECO.SV
WI.TEC		Used by CCL to support wild-card compile-class commands.
TECHLP.TXT	Used by TECO to give extended error messages.
TECHLP.ENG	English version of above
TECHLP.GRM	German version of above. Copy either ENG or GRM on TXT.
TECO.TEC	Used by CCL to support TECO, MAKE, and MUNG commands. (*)
TECO.INI	Sample initialization file that automatically starts up VTEDIT
BESETZ.TEC	IN USE macro (called by .MUNG BESETZ,message)
VTEDIT.TEC	Video Terminal Editor version 40.00 for use by TECO (also M8)
VTEDIT.SRC	The readable (non-condensed) form of VTEDIT V40
VTEDIT.TXT	A short description of how to use VTEDIT V40
LAYOUT.TXT	A summary of the VT52 keypad layout for VTEDIT V40.00
VT100.TEC	A nice picture describing the VT100 keys (use MUNG,VT100)
TECKBM.TEC	A TECO program that runs the OS/8 keyboard monitor
TECO8.DC	Excerpts from the TECO manual that apply to TECO-8
TECINS.TXT	An alphabetical index of all TECO instructions
TECASM.BI	A BATCH file that may be used to assemble TECO
TECLNK.BI	A BATCH file that may be used to link TECO
		(*) if this feature is supported by your monitor

If your monitor supports wild-card compile class commands, then you
should put WI.TEC on SYS: (or DSK0:).

You should put the file TECHLP.TXT on SYS: (or DSK0:) if you are running
on a 20K machine or if you are running on a 16K machine and do not have
either a scope terminal or an auxiliary scope.

You can create a TECO initialization file by creating a file called TECO.INI
and putting it on SYS: (or DSK0:).  It will be invoked whenever TECO is
invoked by CCL. A sample TECO.INI is enclosed.

Note that TECO-8 V40 is not the same as OS/8 TECO V5 (the DEC supported
TECO for OS/8).  TECO-8 V40 is not supported by DEC. It is an adapted version
of TECO-8 V7 that will also run under Multi8 and is maintained by DATAPLAN.
  Suggestions, questions, and bug reports should be sent to:

		Ch-8303 Nuerensdorf

An alphabetical index of all TECO instructions is included. A manual can
be obtained from Herbert.
