I'm sure Euphoria is the best interpreted language available for DOS today, is under active development, and is really cross platform DOS/Win/Linux. In the 90's I was a QBasic, and later user but now I prefer this language. And if the speed is not good enougth for you, the complete pack includes an Euphoria-to-C translator. So you can write in euphoria and get an optimized .exe program.
Check the source code of the text editor \bin\ed.ex , It can load the text file to memory in one single array. You can try to open really big files with this editor without memory problems. Is impossible to make any similar thing with qbasic. To make a similar program with pascal or C you will need a lot of complcated memory allocation code. Here simply declare a sequence (array), and load each line of the file as an element of the array. The intrepreter will take care of allocate and desallocate memory space, or even create a memory swap without any aditional code. Don't worry how many lines have the text, or how long is each line. I want to prepare a complete ZIP file, so you can consider inclusion it in the next release of Freedos. Wich is your formal procedure. +-+-+-+-+-+-+-+ Marco A.
