Submitted for your approval, the latest version of libm, FreeDOS's public

I tried to make Edlin portable enough so that multiple toolchains would work on
it. I normally use Cygwin with GCC and make to compile it, but FreeDOS is a
DOS, so I tried to make it so that multiple compilers could compile it. Forgive
my wording here...

Willi Spiegl said in the meeting that there is no NLS in Edlin. I beg to differ!
There are two different ways of supporting NLS in Edlin. The first (easy) way
is that in the source code, all the message strings are in a file called
msgs.h, so by translating the strings, putting the

The reason why I didn't stick a ^Z there is because I wanted to get away from
control characters in the commands, and a comma just looks better, IMHO.
While perusing Github, I noticed that the NLS project hasn't upgraded Edlin,
which has three new messages to be translated. I also noticed that recently,
many of the downloads of Edlin from SourceForge are from Hong Kong, which I
found amusing. I also found a "fork" of Edlin in Github where the

When Jim compiled Edlin 2.22 for the video, I noticed that the OpenWatcom
compiler emitted a warning. Of course, this caused a disturbance in the Force.
