I'm going to make a potentially controversial proposal. I think we
need to replace FreeDOS Edit (until it is improved) with SvarDOS Edit
(sved).
It works extremely well on 8088s (my Homebrew 8088 XT clone) and a
slow 386 16MHz (Dell 316SX). In contrast FreeDOS Edit is almost
unusable on a V40 (V20/8088 clone in the HB8088) and just usable on
the 386 Dell.
It's also a very small 6KB on disk and can edit files bigger than 64KB
on a machine with at least 256KB free.

I would be against this. At least I would need to do some testing late
today. One big drawback of SVED is that it doesn't handle blocks of
text, at least according to the description, coy/cut&paste work only on
single lines.
FreeDOS Edit, even though it is a bit on the big side, at least works
more like MSEDIT, which some people might expect...
