Re: dos or windows editor

Hi, I'm new to this list.  Hello Technistas!

I've been checking out small editors for about a month, and my favorite
is QEDIT, which can emulate WP or other keystroke patterns and seems very
smartly built.  It can also handle large files, unlike many other dos
editors.  BUT--because I don't have the shareware fees right now, I use
EDIT, which is included with dos 6.22, and probably several earlier versions.

I am also experimenting with Freemacs, which seems to be useful although
is so feature-laden that it confuses me somewhat.  All of these are
available in the Simtel archives,

ftp.oak.oakland

within the

Simtel/dos/editors

directory.  Freemacs is freeware, incidentally.
