Lost Document and Uncompilable Compiler

DATE: 2014-01-30

I've spent my retro-computing time over the last couple of days mostly
on a couple of mostly fruitless projects.

The Lost Document: @TV is a full-screen version of the TECO editor
(NOT Video TECO by Paul Cantrell[1]). I assume it was an officially
supported part of TOPS-20 since it's mentioned in the TOPS-20 User's
Guide[2]. The Lost Document is the TV Editor Manual, which is
mentioned in the Guide and a couple of other online documents, but
which itself has disappeared, or has never been uploaded to the
Internet. I've searched Google, Amazon, Bitsavers, and the Internet
Archive without success.  Anyone have any clues where I might find a
copy?

Uncompilable Compiler: Tonight I tried and failed to compile the G95
Fortran compiler on my Zaurus PDA. The poor thing runs out of RAM
before it can compile the GCC libraries required by G95. Not having
a Fortran compiler on my PDA is the only shadow over my Fortran love
affair.
