historical aside: at one point there was a whole

ITS TECO which could 'purify' ITS TECO code so that one copy in core

There still is an Ivory package, and it's used by a few EMACS libraries.
That was used to write an EMACS-like package for the
PDP-11 UNIX TECO
(but much simpler than real EMACS), which we used for quite a while
before Montgomery EMACS for UNIX showed up.
ObUnix. Montgomery EMACS now shows up again, thanks to Noel. I put a
copy here, which also references the origin:
