TECO

OpenVMS/X86 understands "edit/teco" but complains that teco32_tv is not found. I hope it's on the list, because doing without TECO is hard...

Try https://github.com/blakemcbride/TECOC and see also https://www.almy.us/teco.html

TECO for Alpha and IA64 is a translated image. There is no translator for x86.

We should have removed /TECO from the EDIT CLD until we decide what to do about it on x86.

Bummer. Yes, given its history (starting as a PDP-11 program) I'm not surprised. TECOC may be a suitable alternative, I don't know how compatible it is, should check.
If Python is or becomes available on VMS/x86 I could use my teco.py

Python for VMS x86-64 is still not available per https://vmssoftware.com/products/python/, but it would be reasonable to expect it to show up at some point in time - Python is a must have today.

Thanks Arne. I'm a heavy Python user so when it shows up I'll be able to give it a serious workout. (Hm, running DECnet/Python on a node that's also running DECnet/VMS is an interesting warped thing to do...)

teco.py? I'm intrigued, not that I've used TECO for a few decades except for text file conversions.

You can find it on Github: https://github.com/pkoning2/pyteco -- it hasn't been touched significantly in a while but it works, except for character terminal scope mode which I have on the "to do" list.
