Running TECOC
|
|
|
|
NOTE -- IF YOU ARE USING LINUX, READ THE FILE README.LNX INSTEAD!
|
|
|
|
|
|
Tecoc is typically started via batch commands to set the first
|
|
argument to MUNG, TECO, or MAKE. The batch files are typically called
|
|
mung, teco, make, and inspect. (Inspect does a TECO/INSPECT.)
|
|
|
|
Several option switches are allowed on the TECO command line:
|
|
|
|
/IN[SPECT] -- Read file only, don't create an output file.
|
|
/NOC[REATE] -- If file doesn't exist, don't create it.
|
|
/NOI[NI] -- Don't execute INI file. (valid for MAKE or MUNG as well)
|
|
/NOM[EMORY] -- don't save filename as "last edited file" (valid for
|
|
MAKE also)
|
|
/NOP[AGE] -- Formfeeds don't stop file reads (valid for MAKE also)
|
|
/NOR[ENAME] -- Don't rename files, but copy them to keep references correct
|
|
(OS/2 only)
|
|
+nnn -- sets NOPAGE and positions dot to line nnn.
|
|
|
|
The part of the switch name in the square brackets is optional. For
|
|
instance "/IN" is the same as "/INSPECT".
|
|
|
|
MAKE filespec
|
|
|
|
starts tecoc to create file filespec. Does equivalent of EWfilespec$$
|
|
|
|
TECO filespec
|
|
|
|
starts tecoc to edit file filespec. Does equivalent of
|
|
EBfilespec$Y$
|
|
|
|
TECO filespec2=filespec1
|
|
|
|
starts tecoc to edit filespec1, writing to filespec2. Does
|
|
equivalent of ERfilespec1$EWfilespec2$Y$$
|
|
|
|
TECO
|
|
|
|
starts tecoc to edit last edited file. Filename is saved in file
|
|
named teco*.tmp in the current directory, unless overriden
|
|
(described below).
|
|
|
|
MUNG filespec <args>
|
|
|
|
starts tecoc to execute filespec. Equivalent to
|
|
I<args>$JEIfilespec$$
|
|
|
|
You can use "TECO @filespec <args>" instead of MUNG.
|
|

|
Key Bindings
|
|
|
|
The keys mentioned in the teco.doc file are somewhat confusing.
|
|
This should help:
|
|
|
|
<DELIM> The "Esc" key, "Esc" echoes as "$", however the
|
|
teco.doc file shows it as '`'.
|
|
<BS> Type as Control-h, this isn't the "Backspace" key.
|
|
<DELETE> The "Backspace" key. This isn't the "Delete" key.
|
|
<CR> The "Enter" key.
|
|
<LF> Type as Control-j.
|
|
|
|
Note that the assignments for <BS> and <DELETE> shown here are
|
|
swapped. <BS> can be "Backspace" and <DELETE> can be control-h by
|
|
clearing ET&2048, e.g. 2048,0ET
|
|
|
|
|
|
**************
|
|
|
|
The Initialization File.
|
|
|
|
Tecoc mungs (executes as teco commands) the file TECO.INI in the
|
|
current directory before processing the command line. Initialization
|
|
can be done instead by defining a TEC$INIT environment variable (the
|
|
DOS "SET" command does this). The value is either the list of teco
|
|
commands to execute or a "$" followed by the pathname of the file
|
|
containing the initialization file. This allows a single, centrally
|
|
located initialization file.
|
|
|
|
The initialization file can be used to make initial settings. It can
|
|
return a value, but the value setting is somewhat obscure.
|
|
|
|
Example:
|
|
|
|
set TEC$INIT=1es
|
|
|
|
will cause successful searches to auto-display in all teco sessions.
|
|
|
|
**************
|
|
|
|
Changing the location of the memory file.
|
|
|
|
Define the environment variable TEC$MEMORY to be "$" followed by the
|
|
pathname of the file designated the memory file.
|
|
|
|
Example:
|
|
|
|
set TEC$MEMORY=$c:\teco.mem
|
|
|
|
will cause the name of the last edit file to be stored in the file
|
|
teco.mem in the root directory of drive C.
|
|
|
|
|
|
**************
|
|
|
|
The Libary directory
|
|
|
|
Defining the environment variable TEC$LIBRARY to be a directory path
|
|
(including the final "\" or "/") will allow the EI command to fetch
|
|
teco commands from this directory if the file is not found in the
|
|
current directory.
|
|
|
|
Example:
|
|
|
|
set TEC$LIBRARY=c:\lib\teco\
|
|
|
|
will cause the directory c:\lib\teco to be searched for teco command files.
|
