Sci. Lines: 15 TECO (the archaic yet nice editor) written by DEC had an operating system (shell) command that was called MAKE. If one typed "MAKE XXX" to the operating system, the system would enter the editor and create the file named XXX. In addition the bug/feature that the system included said in response to "MAKE LOVE", "Not War?". Is this a bug/feature?, I don't know. Anyone at DEC have anything to suggest? I believe it was because TECO was written in the sixties. Please respond to me via mail (or post the reply if it is of general enough interest). Thanks for all the YASSC jokes -- very good. -- --------------------------- Todd Cooper (617) 424-9018 UUCP: ...!harvard!bu-cs!todd ARPA: todd%bu-cs.csnet@csnet-relay.arpa
