! This macro compacts file VTEDIT.WOR into file VTEDIT.TEC VTEDIT.WOR is Pete's work-source for VTEDIT.TEC. Because Teco is so wonderfully easy to read, yet insertion of any spaces, tabs or carriage returns to improve readability slows down a Teco macro, Pete's solution is to have a work file with a documented, slow, spaced out source that has a consistent form of all extraneous characters inserted for documentation. That form is three exclamation points, then ANYTHING, then three more exclamation points. This macro goes through the work file VTEDIT.WOR and removes all such strings, leaving a Teco source that is completely unreadable, but hauls ass. ! ervtedit.wory ewvtedit.tecex
