+# DEC Handbook font
+
+This is a reconstruction of the font used on DEC processor handbook
+covers and other manuals in the early 1970s.  Some characters did not
+appear in the originals (like "x") so they are made up in the style of
+the others.
+
+This is a lower case only font.  A few letters have alternate shapes,
+with short and long curving parts.  The long curve shapes are the
+lower case letters; these are suitable for the end of a word (f r t)
+and the start (j).  The corresponding upper case letters are for use
+in the middle of a word.

+# TECO in Python
+
+This is an implementation of TECO in Python 3.  I originally wrote it
+as a programming language learning exercise, so it's not really
+polished, but it is functional.  Since it uses Python 3, it has the
+rather unusual property of supporting Unicode directly.
+
+Contents:
+* teco.py -- the program.  It supports a "GT40" style via wxPython, if
+installed.   "Curses" support (for ANSI terminals) is not yet
+operational.
+* bmp.tec -- a sample TECO macro showing Unicode support.  It fills
+the buffer with all the characters of the Unicode Basic Multinational
+Plane.
