Oops, I realized that I didn't compile this version of Edlin 2.21 with
catgets support, so I've recompiled it. There's an OW.BAT file in
there, contributed by Rugxulo, so I used that to compile it. Updated
zip is here:

https://ibiblio.org/pub/micro/pc-stuff/freedos/files/dos/edlin/2.21/


And inside the zip file:

>unzip -l edlin-221exe.zip
Archive:  edlin-221exe.zip
  Length      Date    Time    Name
---------  ---------- -----   ----
    54948  08-21-2022 06:55   EDLIN16.EXE
    58896  08-21-2022 06:57   EDLIN32.EXE
     2601  08-21-2022 06:55   ow.bat
---------                     -------
   116445                     3 files



*The OW.BAT file has a few lines commented out. OW.BAT assumed it was
not in the Edlin directory. But it's already in the Edlin source
directory, so all its checks failed. I just commented out the checks
so it would continue with the compile.

Gregory: you might want to use this updated OW.BAT for a future Edlin 2.22.
