Get the GNU DOS port of vi - has the benefit of being a standard, very
powerful, reliable and takes up 120KB or so (OK, that's a lot more than
ideal for an editor, but at least you don't need all the extra garbage
that you have to have with standard MS-DOS 'edit') - of course, if
you've never used vi before, you're gonna hate it :)

(not wanting to kick off an off-topic thread in light of the current
'problems' on this list, anyone know how to get MS exchange client 4 to
do the auto-include of the '>' quote chars above? I'm sick of having to
do it by hand! Email privately, please! :)


cheers
