Hi there, 

If someone is looking for a nifty text editor which looks quite "un-dos" with a 
GUI, Georg Potthast has one: 

"FlWriter is a text processing program using FLTK as a GUI tookit  Author:   
Jean-Mark Lienher, Georg Potthast
 Homepage: https://code.google.com/p/nanox-microwindows-nxlib-fltk-for-dos/
 Download: 
https://code.google.com/p/nanox-microwindows-nxlib-fltk-for-dos/downloads/detail?name=flwriter_1.0.zip
 Family:   MsDosEditors
 Platform: MSDOS
 License:  Artistic License/GPL

It was developed by Jean-Mark Lienher in 2002 and ported to DOS and enhanced in 
2012 by Georg Potthast.

FlWriter uses XHTML as its internal format and stores the text files in this 
format. It thus works similar to an HTML editor, however, the functionality 
concentrates on developing text files using different fonts.

It features WYSIWYG . The editor window displays the text in the selected 
fonts. The document then can be converted for printing into a postscript file 
or a PDF document. The utility HTMLDOC is called by FlWriter? 2012 for these 
conversions. You can also generate print files for HP Deskjet and Laserjet 
printers as well as Canon Bubblejet"
(copy-pasted from https://texteditors.org/cgi-bin/wiki.pl?FLWriter)

Just in case someone is looking for something like this. 
Works very well on DOS-BOX, too.
