Whoops, sorry Wolf, replied to you directly rather than the group. Apologies. Trying again. :D

Wolf,

Thanks for looking into it. I have an older copy of FTE, specifically version 0.49.13 which corresponds to "20010819" on the download page, that I have on my FreeDOS machine, but the author stopped providing any more/newer versions pre-compiled. The original SourceForge homepage here <https://fte.sourceforge.net/> details that it can be compiled for, well, just about anything!

Hi,

Hmm I looked into it and it seems to me that FTE is a Linux/X11 text editor and not for DOS. 🤔

There is a nice programming text editor for DOS (and part of FreeDOS) called FED, available here:

    Hello FreeDOS community! Hope I'm doing this right, believe it or
    not this is my first ever time using a mailing list in my almost
    three decades of being 'an IT guy'.

    I posted on the FreeDOS Facebook some weeks (months?) back about a
    text editor I found called FTE.

    I was wondering if someone might compile the latest version (found
    here
    <https://sourceforge.net/projects/fte/files/fte/fte-20110708/> on
    SourceForge) for me (and the larger FreeDOS community, of course)
    or, failing that, teach me how to do it myself? I'll be honest,
    the latter option isn't my favourite, I did look into it briefly
    but, briefly or not, managed to give myself a headache doing so!
    I'm just /not /a programmer...no Sir.
