This came up because I wanted to edit something real quick on a Win2K8R2 server... and 'edit' didn't work.
I just tried it on my domain controller... it said it wasn't there, either. I just checked around a bit... looks like 'nano' is available for Windows... which makes me very happy. If anybody does have another suggestions, I'm still interested. --Matt Ross Ephrata School District ----- Original Message ----- From: Steven Peck [mailto:sep...@gmail.com] To: NT System Admin Issues [mailto:ntsysadmin@lyris.sunbelt-software.com] Sent: Fri, 05 Aug 2011 15:29:23 -0700 Subject: Re: Text Editor for Windows WAS: SQL for File Storage? > edit.exe still works.
