Some of this code may have been translated from TECO in 1984/5. But I can't recall what it that term might refer to. On ITS, the only place to store a version number was (1) in the second filename or (2) in the file contents. When that text was written, was there code in Emacs to store a version number in one of those places? -- Dr Richard Stallman (https://stallman.org) Chief GNUisance of the GNU Project (https://gnu.org) Founder, Free Software Foundation (https://fsf.org) Internet Hall-of-Famer (https://internethalloffame.org)
