Welcome back!   :-)

Are you sure you meant "2.15" [sic]? It seems it's already available:

* https://sourceforge.net/projects/freedos-edlin/files/freedos-edlin/2.15/
* http://www.ibiblio.org/pub/micro/pc-stuff/freedos/files/dos/edlin/

I'll mirror anything newer to iBiblio for you/us, if you need it.

Anyways, they are under new management, and (IIRC) asked people to
change passwords for security reasons. I'm sure you could nag someone
there to help you. Or try this:

* https://sourceforge.net/auth/forgotten_password
* https://sourceforge.net/auth/recovery_support

No comment!   :-)

I haven't used it lately, no. So I can only come up with (absurdly
sarcastic) feature requests.  ;-)

[Freedos-devel] I resubscribed!

[Gregory Pietsch]

I resubscribed to the list to participate in Jim Hall's GNUish project.

I realize that I haven't upgraded edlin since 2010. I have the sources 
for 2.15 but Sourceforge locked me out of the project for some reason 
and I haven't been able to log in there. Anyway, it is rated 5 stars out 
of 5. ;-)


If anyone has anything they would like to contribute for edlin, send me 
your sources as I am the new (old) maintainer!


I sent Jim Hall my version of the Unix command 'cat' for the GNUish 
project.


The cat command concatenates files and prints them to standard output.

OPTIONS:

-b, --number-nonblank  Number all nonblank output lines, starting
   with 1.

-e Equivalent to -vE.

-n, --number   Number all output lines, starting with 1.

-s, --squeeze-blankReplace multiple adjacent blank lines with a
   single blank line.

-t Equivalent to -vT.

-u Ignored; for Unix compatability.

-v, --show-nonprinting Display control characters except for
   linefeed and tab using '^' notation and
   precede characters that have the high 
bit set

   with 'M-'.

-A, --show-all Equivalent to -vET.

-E, --show-endsDisplay a '$' after the end of each line.

-T, --show-tabsDisplay tab characters as '^I'.

--help Print a usage message and exit with a
   non-zero status.

--version  Print version information on standard output
   then exit.

On systems like MS-DOS that distinguish between text and binary files,
'cat' normally reads and writes in binary mode.  However, 'cat' reads in 
text

mode if one of the options '-bensAE' is used or if 'cat' is reading from
standard input and standard input is a terminal.  Similarly, 'cat' 
writes in
text mode if one of the options '-bensAE' is used or if standard output 
is a

terminal.
