> I'm actually more interested in what editors people *do* use > under FreeDOS
Editors fascinate me. Below are some of my favorites. And, yes, I do *edit* fairly large files, up to 15 MB. - Aurora by Jeff Wunderlich. A masterpiece. Fast, stable, pleasant to the eye, original, powerful, configurable. Files up to 1 gigabyte. Sophisticated, ultra-fast macro language with *hundreds* of commands. In view of all that, I wonder why hardly anyone ever mentions Aurora. It was shareware (and I'm a registered user). It is said (www-personal.umich.edu/~knassen/aurora.html) that Jeff gave away the registration password for anyone to use it for free. - FED by Marko Macek. Best syntax highlighting I know (but difficult to set up due to incomplete user manual). - TED by Thomson-Davis, Jason Hood - Editor built into the NDN file manager - SET by Salvador Tropea Back to the original topic "New standard FreeDOS text editor", I assume this means a simple or medium-power editor. In that case, there's just one item I'd like to add to previous wish lists: syntax highlighting for comments. I can live without colorized keywords, strings, digits, punctuation -- but comments are a special case. Having them in a different color is a huge improvement in terms of visual comfort.
