IDE/Text Editor for DOS?
Harry Potter
following features:
* macros
* a DOS shell
* multiple windows
* free/inexpensive
* the ability to edit large files
* split-screen
* use of tabs without converting to spaces
* small file size (i.e. <1.5MB uncompressed)
* lots of settings to play with :)
Any help would be appreciated!

Get real! That may not exist at any price to run on DOS. The only way it
could exist and *maybe* fit in 1.5 MB is if someone hand crafted it in
assembly (there used to be a word processor that was popular with
programmers that was, in fact, hand crafted in assembly, but I never heard
of an IDE that was, or one with all that Windows functonality).
The most reasonable approach is to do the development work in Open Watcom
under Windows and compile to DOS, then test in DOS. A network would help
with files. Or, since there is an Open Watcom command line compiler for
DOS, edit the files in a good Windows programmer's editor (of which there
are several free ones with various features), and compile, run, and debug
at the DOS command line.

Hmm, I can only find the Junior version (shareware) on its website.
Could be that the Lite version is no longer available?
PS) Bump!

The WordPerfect Programmer's editor does most of that.
To get multiple windows you would have to run multiple
windowed DOS sessions.

Send Sammy Mitchell (SEMWare) an email and ask him. He and I were chatting
in comp.os.cpm recently. He is still around.
QEdit was my favourite even after Windows 98 was released but then Textpad
and Windows took me over.

(version 6.2x) machine. I don't recall it's size, but to run on that
old of a machine, I'm pretty sure it's less than 1.5MB!-)
I also use VIM version 7.x in "DOS" AND in Windows on the Windows XP Home
machine I'm on right now, but I have no idea how big it isn't.

I recently switched from TextPad to EmEditor, mainly because of the
latter's better handling of Unicode text and its infinitely better macro
programmability. Neither is free (EmEditor: US$40, TextPad: US$30).

I think the Lite version is actually the Q-Edit (old name). If that is
so, I already have it for a long time.

From FILE_ID.DIZ:
BOXER/DOS Text Editor 7.0b, top rated! <ASP>
Powerful editing capability in an easy to use
package. Syntax highlighting, column blocks,
undo & redo, global search & replace, macros,
WP, keyboard reconfig, large screen support,
brace matching, ASCII chart, multi-base
calculator & much more! Boxer was voted "Best
Major Application" at the Shareware Industry
Awards. Keen attention to detail is apparent
throughout.

That's better. :)
Google mostly showed the other "BOXER"s, including pants.

*** I'd recommend Boxer or WordPerfect 5.1.

Thank you. I downloaded the DOS and Win32 binaries. I need to install and test them out, though. BTW, I prefer the Notepad++ text editor, though, but I don't think it works on Win98. :)
