For small things, I usually use my own adaptation of the BINED editor of Borland's Turbo Pascal Editor Toolbox. It's a 63KB .EXE file of which about 20KB are actually directly attached overlays and help file. Can edit up to 60KB of text (with lines up to 249 characters) faster than pretty much anything else, using an expanded WordStar/Borland keyboard layout If I need to do anything larger than that, I use the SEE editor that came with DeSmet C. That one handles files larger than available RAM (no XMS or EMS though), the largest file that I have probably used with it was around 8MB... Both run just fine from anything from an 8088/8086 CPU on upwards... ;-) Ralf ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Everyone hates slow websites. So do we.
