By "compatibility mode" do you mean the 4.2BSD facility that permits it
to execute 4.1BSD system calls (but from native VAX code), or the ability
to run PDP-11 programs in the VAX-11 compatibility mode?  The reference
to "a 4.2 version of MACSYMA" and the fact that you're running MACSYMA at
all leads me to think you mean the former (if somebody's stuffed a LISP big
enough to run MACSYMA, much less MACSYMA itself, onto a PDP-11 I'd like to
shake their hand).  The people asking about TECO are asking about the
latter, as PDP-11 TECO is written in MACRO-11.
