      Syn: To vex; harass: annoy; disturb; irritate; plague;
               torment; mortify; tantalize; chagrin.
  
      Usage: {Tease}, {Vex}. To tease is literally to pull or
                  scratch, and implies a prolonged annoyance in respect
                  to little things, which is often more irritating, and
                  harder to bear, than severe pain. Vex meant originally
                  to seize and bear away hither and thither, and hence,
                  to disturb; as, to vex the ocean with storms. This
                  sense of the term now rarely occurs; but vex is still
                  a stronger word than tease, denoting the disturbance
                  or anger created by minor provocations, losses,
                  disappointments, etc. We are teased by the buzzing of
                  a fly in our eyes; we are vexed by the carelessness or
                  stupidity of our servants.

                           indefatigable teasing.                  --Hudibras.
  
                           In disappointments, where the affections have
                           been strongly placed, and the expectations
                           sanguine, particularly where the agency of

From Jargon File (4.2.0, 31 JAN 2000) [jargon]:
   TECO /tee'koh/ n.,v. obs.   1. [originally an acronym for
   `[paper] Tape Editor and COrrector'; later, `Text Editor and
   COrrector'] n. A text editor developed at MIT and modified by just
   about everybody.   With all the dialects included, TECO may have been
   the most prolific editor in use before {EMACS}, to which it was
   directly ancestral.   Noted for its powerful
   programming-language-like features and its unspeakably hairy syntax.
   It is literally the case that every string of characters is a valid
   TECO program (though probably not a useful one); one common game
   used to be mentally working out what the TECO commands corresponding
   to human names did.   2. vt. Originally, to edit using the TECO
   editor in one of its infinite variations (see below).   3. vt.,obs.
   To edit even when TECO is _not_ the editor being used!   This usage
   is rare and now primarily historical.
  
      As an example of TECO's obscurity, here is a TECO program that
   takes a list of names such as:
  
      Loser, J. Random
      Quux, The Great
      Dick, Moby
  
   sorts them alphabetically according to surname, and then puts the
   surname last, removing the comma, to produce the following:
  
      Moby Dick
      J. Random Loser
      The Great Quux
  
   The program is
  
      [1 J^P$L$$
      J <.-Z; .,(S,$ -D .)FX1 @F^B $K :L I $ G1 L>$$
  
   (where ^B means `Control-B' (ASCII 0000010) and $ is actually an
   {alt} or escape (ASCII 0011011) character).
  
      In fact, this very program was used to produce the second, sorted
   list from the first list.   The first hack at it had a {bug}: GLS
   (the author) had accidentally omitted the `@' in front of `F^B',
   which as anyone can see is clearly the {Wrong Thing}.   It worked
   fine the second time.   There is no space to describe all the
   features of TECO, but it may be of interest that `^P' means `sort'
   and `J<.-Z; ... L>' is an idiomatic series of commands for `do once
   for every line'.
  
      In mid-1991, TECO is pretty much one with the dust of history,
   having been replaced in the affections of hackerdom by {EMACS}.
   Descendants of an early (and somewhat lobotomized) version adopted
   by DEC can still be found lurking on VMS and a couple of crufty
   PDP-11 operating systems, however, and ports of the more advanced
   MIT versions remain the focus of some antiquarian interest.   See
   also {retrocomputing}, {write-only language}.
  
  

From Jargon File (4.2.0, 31 JAN 2000) [jargon]:
   TeX /tekh/ n.   An extremely powerful {macro}-based text
   formatter written by Donald E. {Knuth}, very popular in the
   computer-science community (it is good enough to have displaced Unix
   {{troff}}, the other favored formatter, even at many Unix
   installations).   TeX fans insist on the correct (guttural)
   pronunciation, and the correct spelling (all caps, squished
   together, with the E depressed below the baseline; the mixed-case
   `TeX' is considered an acceptable kluge on ASCII-only devices).
   Fans like to proliferate names from the word `TeX' -- such as
   TeXnician (TeX user), TeXhacker (TeX programmer), TeXmaster
   (competent TeX programmer), TeXhax, and TeXnique.   See also
   {CrApTeX}.
  
      Knuth began TeX because he had become annoyed at the declining
   quality of the typesetting in volumes I-III of his monumental "Art
   of Computer Programming" (see {Knuth}, also {bible}).   In a
   manifestation of the typical hackish urge to solve the problem at
   hand once and for all, he began to design his own typesetting
   language.   He thought he would finish it on his sabbatical in 1978;
   he was wrong by only about 8 years.   The language was finally frozen
   around 1985, but volume IV of "The Art of Computer Programming" is
   not expected to appear until 2002.   The impact and influence of
   TeX's design has been such that nobody minds this very much.   Many
   grand hackish projects have started as a bit of {toolsmith}ing on
   the way to something else; Knuth's diversion was simply on a grander
   scale than most.
  
      TeX has also been a noteworthy example of free, shared, but
   high-quality software.   Knuth offers a monetary awards to anyone who
   found and reported bugs dating from before the 1989 code freeze; as
   the years wore on and the few remaining bugs were fixed (and new
   ones even harder to find), the bribe went up.   Though well-written,
   TeX is so large (and so full of cutting edge technique) that it is
   said to have unearthed at least one bug in every Pascal system it
   has been compiled with.
  
  

From Jargon File (4.2.0, 31 JAN 2000) [jargon]:
   tick n.   1. A {jiffy} (sense 1).   2. In simulations, the
   discrete unit of time that passes between iterations of the
   simulation mechanism.   In AI applications, this amount of time is
   often left unspecified, since the only constraint of interest is the
   ordering of events.   This sort of AI simulation is often
   pejoratively referred to as `tick-tick-tick' simulation, especially
   when the issue of simultaneity of events with long, independent
   chains of causes is {handwave}d.   3. In the FORTH language, a single
   quote character.
  
  

From Jargon File (4.2.0, 31 JAN 2000) [jargon]:
   Tux   Tux the Penguin is the official emblem of {Linux}, This
   eventuated after a logo contest in 1996, during which Linus Torvalds
   endorsed the idea of a penguin logo in a couple of famously funny
   postings (http://www.woodsoup.org/~sbaker/tux/doc/).   Linus explained
   that he was once bitten by a killer penguin in Australia and has
   felt a special affinity for the species ever since.   (Linus has
   since admitted that he was also thinking of Feathers McGraw, the
   evil-genius penguin jewel thief who appeared in a Wallace & Grommit
   feature cartoon, "The Wrong Trousers".)
  
      Larry Ewing designed (http://www.isc.tamu.edu/~lewing/linux/) the
   official Tux logo.   It has proved a wise choice, amenable to
   hundreds of recognizable variations used as emblems of Linux-related
   projects, products, and user groups. In fact, Tux has spawned an
   entire mythology, of which the Gospel According to Tux
   (http://www.ao.com/~regan/penguins/tux.html) and the mock-epic poem
   "Tuxowolf" are among the best-known examples.
  
      There is a `real' Tux - a black-footed penguin resident at the
   Bristol Zoo.   Several friends of Linux bought a zoo sponsorship for
   Linus as a birthday present in 1996.

   tweak vt.   1. To change slightly, usually in reference to a

   almost correct, rather than figure out the precise problem you might
   just keep tweaking it until it works.   See {frobnicate} and {fudge
   factor}; also see {shotgun debugging}.   2. To {tune} or {bum} a

      /tee'koh/ (Originally an acronym for "[paper]
      Tape Editor and COrrector"; later, "Text Editor and
      COrrector"]) A {text editor} developed at {MIT} and modified
      by just about everybody.   With all the dialects included, TECO
      may have been the most prolific editor in use before {Emacs},
      to which it was directly ancestral.   The first {Emacs} editor
      was written in TECO.
  
      It was noted for its powerful programming-language-like
      features and its unspeakably {hairy} {syntax} (see {write-only
      language}).   TECO programs are said to resemble {line noise}.
      Every string of characters is a valid TECO program (though
      probably not a useful one); one common game used to be predict
      what the TECO commands corresponding to human names did.
  
      As an example of TECO's obscurity, here is a TECO program that
      takes a list of names such as:
  
      Loser, J. Random
      Quux, The Great
      Dick, Moby
  
      sorts them alphabetically according to surname, and then puts
      the surname last, removing the comma, to produce the
      following:
  
      Moby Dick
      J. Random Loser
      The Great Quux
  
      The program is
  
      [1 J^P$L$$
      J <.-Z; .,(S,$ -D .)FX1 @F^B $K :L I $ G1 L>$$
  
      (where ^B means "Control-B" (ASCII 0000010) and $ is actually
      an {alt} or escape (ASCII 0011011) character).
  
      In fact, this very program was used to produce the second,
      sorted list from the first list.   The first hack at it had a
      {bug}: GLS (the author) had accidentally omitted the "@" in
      front of "F^B", which as anyone can see is clearly the {Wrong
      Thing}.   It worked fine the second time.   There is no space to
      describe all the features of TECO, but "^P" means "sort" and
      "J<.-Z; ... L>" is an idiomatic series of commands for "do
      once for every line".
  
      By 1991, {Emacs} had replaced TECO in hacker's affections but
      descendants of an early (and somewhat lobotomised) version
      adopted by {DEC} can still be found lurking on {VMS} and a
      couple of crufty {PDP-11} {operating systems}, and ports of
      the more advanced MIT versions remain the focus of some
      antiquarian interest.

   TeX
  
      /tekh/ An extremely powerful {macro}-based text
      formatter written by {Donald Knuth}, very popular in academia,
      especially in the computer-science community (it is good
      enough to have displaced {Unix} {troff}, the other favoured
      formatter, even at many {Unix} installations).
  
      The first version of TeX was written in the programming
      language {SAIL}, to run on a {PDP-10} under Stanford's {WAITS}
      {operating system}.
  
      Knuth began TeX because he had become annoyed at the declining
      quality of the typesetting in volumes I-III of his monumental
      "Art of Computer Programming" (see {Knuth}, also {bible}).   In
      a manifestation of the typical hackish urge to solve the
      problem at hand once and for all, he began to design his own
      typesetting language.   He thought he would finish it on his
      sabbatical in 1978; he was wrong by only about 8 years.   The
      language was finally frozen around 1985, but volume IV of "The
      Art of Computer Programming" has yet to appear as of mid-1997.
      (However, the third edition of volumes I and II have come
      out).   The impact and influence of TeX's design has been such
      that nobody minds this very much.   Many grand hackish projects
      have started as a bit of {toolsmithing} on the way to
      something else; Knuth's diversion was simply on a grander
      scale than most.
  
      {Guy Steele} happened to be at Stanford during the summer of
      1978, when Knuth was developing his first version of TeX.
      When he returned to {MIT} that fall, he rewrote TeX's {I/O} to
      run under {ITS}.
  
      TeX has also been a noteworthy example of free, shared, but
      high-quality software.   Knuth offers monetary awards to people
      who find and report a bug in it: for each bug the award is
      doubled.   (This has not made Knuth poor, however, as there
      have been very few bugs and in any case a cheque proving that
      the owner found a bug in TeX is rarely cashed).   Though
      well-written, TeX is so large (and so full of cutting edge
      technique) that it is said to have unearthed at least one bug
      in every {Pascal} system it has been compiled with.
  
      TeX fans insist on the correct (guttural) pronunciation, and
      the correct spelling (all caps, squished together, with the E
      depressed below the baseline; the mixed-case "TeX" is
      considered an acceptable {kluge} on {ASCII}-only devices).
      Fans like to proliferate names from the word "TeX" - such as
      TeXnician (TeX user), TeXhacker (TeX programmer), TeXmaster
      (competent TeX programmer), TeXhax, and TeXnique.
  
      Several document processing systems are based on TeX, notably
      {LaTeX} Lamport TeX - incorporates document styles for books,
      letters, slides, etc., {jadeTeX} uses TeX as a backend for
      printing from {James' DSSSL Engine}, and {Texinfo}, the {GNU}
      document processing system.   Numerous extensions to TeX exist,
      among them {BibTeX} for bibliographies (distributed with
      LaTeX), {PDFTeX} modifies TeX to produce {PDF} and {Omega}
      extends TeX to use the {Unicode} character set.
  
      For some reason, TeX uses its own variant of the {point}, the
      {TeX point}.

   Economy
  
   Overview: The economy is heavily dependent on subsistence agriculture,
   which accounts for about half of GDP and provides employment for 80%
   of the labor force. Primary agricultural exports are cocoa, coffee,
   and cotton, which together generate about 30% of total export
   earnings. Togo is self-sufficient in basic foodstuffs when harvests
   are normal. In the industrial sector phosphate mining is by far the
   most important activity, although it has suffered from the collapse of
   world phosphate prices and increased foreign competition. Togo serves
   as a regional commercial and trade center. The government's
   decade-long IMF and World Bank supported effort to implement economic
   reform measures to encourage foreign investment and bring revenues in
   line with expenditures has stalled. Political unrest, including
   private and public sector strikes throughout 1992 and 1993, has
   jeopardized the reform program, shrunk the tax base, and disrupted
   vital economic activity. Although strikes had ended in 1994, political
   unrest and lack of funds prevented the government from taking
   advantage of the 50% currency devaluation of January 1994. Resumption
   of World Bank and IMF flows will depend on implementation of several
   controversial moves toward privatization and on downsizing the
   military, on which the regime depends to stay in power.
