Mix Software Power C text editor was primarily for C source files, which usually
don't get big enough to exceed lower DOS memory. If the C source files get so
big, better to break up into modules.
I don't think I'd want to break up a large text file into pieces to edit them
because of DOS's memory limitation. Why do computers have > 1 MB RAM? Just to
sit idle? I have the Tiny Editor for DOS and OS/2; OS/2 version is used on the
installation diskettes to edit CONFIG.SYS if necessary. I never tried this on
big files, but it just might work, since OS/2 would be in protected mode.
NetMail 2.00 and 2.12 for DOS seemed very reliable until hitting a message
having a line of 1024 characters. Then NetMail just keeps adding white space,
or maybe carriage return-linefeeds, forever, or until I hit Ctrl-C. I remember
NetMail uses two files for each message, one whose name ends in .TXT and the
other in .WRK.
Now I am curious to try or look at OLIM. I think OLIM was also used with Yan
for email (news too?).
"Clipboard" is not Windows-specific. OS/2 has a clipboard too, and Ashton-Tate
Framework had a clipboard. I wonder what happened with Framework since they got
their own existence and their own website http://www.framework.com
