They both do colorization of structured programming, something that preceded EMACs colorization by a few years. I always wondered if my released MSDOS version of TECO gave people ideas. When did EMACS start coloring things? I started it in my TECO as of around 1984-1985 - it supported it in text strings, parentheses, etc. From my MSDOS version, showing some MASM code: The structured macros were inspired by Bruce Maier's structured macros he did for MACRO-10 on TOPS-10 in the mid to late 70's.
