But I completely agree it would be nice to include some sort of text editor. Like MEM and MORE, it can be difficult to get along without having them on a boot diskette. But, at 65.9kb for EDIT.EXE + 29.4kb for EDIT.HLP, there is not enough room on the 720kb diskette set to include edit. Perhaps the 16-bit version of E3 at only 4kb could be included. Or possible, a different very light-weight editor.
So how much space DO you have? I don't think that EDIT (specially including the help) is necessary, but there are (should be) full screen editors that would be suffice for editing basic configuration files when setting up a system. There is no need for graphic UI, multi file, multi-MB-sized files and such fluff. But quickly AND EASILY edit those rather small (less than a dozen KB) text files. And that should be possible to accomplish with an editor of 20KB or less...
