Hi!
Let me grab the opportunity to fork this thread and push another topic: DOS stuff collections :-) A German retro computing forum recently recommended a nice and retro-browser friendly pile of DOS information and file archive links / mirrors on: https://www.infania.net/misc/
But you do not need to buy anything. That is crazy talk in 2025. There were lots of powerful DOS editors and many are on here as free downloads: https://clasqm.github.io/freedos-repo/ All 100% checked and legit, no "abandonware".
Cute, they even archived LCARS24 :-) https://clasqm.github.io/freedos-repo/Launchers.html The author shared an important trick to implement BIOS PS/2 mouse wheel access for CTMOUSE 2.1, many years ago. The text editors are in the category "productivity", which also contains the As-Easy-As spreadsheet app and a number of databases. It does not include more modern things like SetEdit or Clipper Clone xHarbour: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Harbour_(programming_language) On the other hand, the CLASQM category "graphics" does include stuff like GrafX2 and LxPic. https://clasqm.github.io/freedos-repo/Commandline.html this might inspire some people who write batch enhancers :-) I find it very ironic that the screenshot of ASCII Box from https://clasqm.github.io/freedos-repo/TSR.html features FreeDOS EDIT 0.9a: https://clasqm.github.io/freedos-repo/imgs/asciibox.png If you use FreeDOS Edit 0.7d, the ASCII table already is a built-in menu item of EDIT itself, in "Utilities". I assume other FreeDOS Edit versions also have the tool. Cheers, Eric
