some emacs history

["Nelson H. F. Beebe" <beebe@math.utah.edu>]

There is a new paper that has just appeared that documents some early
history of emacs that may be of interest to some of you.  The DOI in
the BibTeX entry below leads to a PDF file, but it may require an IEEE
digital library subscription for yourself or your employer:

@String{j-IEEE-ANN-HIST-COMPUT  = "IEEE Annals of the History of Computing"}

@Article{Murphy:2009:BT,
  author =       "Dan Murphy",
  title =        "The Beginnings of {TECO}",
  journal =      j-IEEE-ANN-HIST-COMPUT,
  volume =       "31",
  number =       "4",
  pages =        "110--115",
  month =        oct # "\slash " # dec,
  year =         "2009",
  CODEN =        "IAHCEX",
  DOI =          "http://doi.ieeecomputersociety.org/10.1109/MAHC.2009.127",
  ISSN =         "1058-6180",
  bibdate =      "Wed Apr 28 18:56:30 2010",
  acknowledgement = ack-nhfb,
}

I've been using emacs long enough that I date back to TECO days, and
probably wrote almost as much TECO code as almost anyone, except for
rms himself.
