Well, not the greatest fan of the FreeDOS EDIT, but in general it would be good if people have a choice, so if there's another one available, great. If that is to become "the standard", that might need to be seen... >2. These editor must be only 8086 or can be 80386 (8086 machines >used only by nostalgy value by museum staffs)? I am not a "museum staff", but I still have two 8088 machine (though I need to get around to fix the power supply in the Commodore PC10) as well as at least 3 fully functional 80286 machines... IMHO, authors of FreeDOS related programs should consider to support machines as far back as possible. That includes the RAM usage... >3. Editor must be written on the Pascal or BASIC language? I >convinced that the C language is does not work properly with the strings. Looks like you need to get yourself more acquainted with C. Endless numbers of editors have been written in C... Beside that, it doesn't matter, as long as you can provide the source code with it. It's just that there are more "free" C compilers available for use with/for FreeDOS than for any other programming language... >4. Editor must be have: >4.1. Calculator; no >4.2.

I don't see any purpose in using a "text editor" in graphics mode. IMHO, it will just cause code bloat and therefor increase RAM usage and make it slower. Text mode is just fine, in almost all video adapters (still working today, Hercules maybe aside), you can get more than 25 rows or 80 columns of text anyway. >6. Editor in what license type: >6.1.
