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.
If we want to be compatible with MS-DOS, EDLIN is the only
alternative. As is ed the only standard Unix editor.
We are aiming to be MS-DOS 6.0 compatible, and that had MSEDIT as it's
default editor. But as mentioned, this is too large, so I think that E3
is an absolute legitimate option to include on the boot disk...
