Hmmmm... I always thought that it was Text Editor And Corrector, but yesterday,
my girlfriend was quizzing me with PDP-11 trivia cards, and she came across a
card which claimed that it stands for *Tape* Editor and Corrector. I have a
hard time believing this one... does anyone know anything about this meaning?

I'm not sure where I first picked it up. I think that it was TECO-10, or
perhaps ITS TECO.
