Ms-dos Editor Download
Bartolome Moosavi
For years I have used the ms-dos editor to write code.
Notepad is way to inadequate. It inserts BOMs and can only open one file at a time.
ms-dos editor is simple and shows BOMs and makes it easy for me to remove them.
I have been searching the internet for 5 days and I haven't seen enough details to confidently do this.
I am not looking for dual boot or mutiple operating systems... just ms-dos editor.
and the most simple solution.
To Collector, one of the editors I downloaded yesterday was Notepad++
In case there was no possibility of using ms-dos editor without creating multiple operating systems.
wondering if it shows BOMs like dos editor does
another thing I wonder about it is: like one of the languages I code is php that also contains html, css and javascript
not sure if notepad++ will allow me to mix languages in one document?
I also need to read all their documentation.
Thanx Truth, I figured out how to get the freedos editor to work in Dosbox. Only downside is it doesn't support long file names like the ms-dos editor included with windows xp 32 bit, which means I would have to rename hundreds of files.
I still wonder if I could copy the ms-dos editor files such as edit.com, the help and ini files from my windows xp machine into dosbox?
It would be great if it would work. It could at least get me by until I find something else and learn how to utilize its functions and capabilities.
I really wish Microsoft would have updated ms-dos editor to 64 bit and continued to include it in with windows.
I really depended on the ms-dos editor a lot! I could pump out dozens of pages of code per day using it.
Yes Collector, although I could copy and paste from windows with ms-dos editor I noticed that was a problem with freedos in dosbox. It also doesn't seem that I can do things like right click a file and open it with freedos in the dosbox like I could with ms-dos editor.
