Try this version of edit:
http://www.coli.uni-saarland.de/~eric/stuff/soft/by-others/edit07d.zip
This version works (same as latest ODIN), but is VERY slow. Of course,
this is a very slow machine though. Changing the options to disable all
window decorations resulted in a significant improvement in editor
performance, though. I suspect the clock in the status bar is the
culprit. However, when I select "save options" the saved options only
take effect if I change to c:\fdos before executing "edit". Perhaps I am
doing something wrong?
I noticed that this program has a lot of nice features that could
possibly be stripped out for improved performance for perhaps a specific
version for low end systems, perhaps to be named "minied" or something?
Some thoughts of a "mini" version:
*) remove multiple file editing support
*) remove ascii table and calendar
*) remove undo/redo function or remove other advanced editing features
*) remove search
Perhaps I'll hack on the source, but I doubt it. I've got a lot of
projects going on :)
