aka TinyEditors.

The best list I've seen for DOS is: http://short.stop.home.att.net/freesoft/txtedit1.htm#small

The "short.stop" web site does a feature comparison of 9 editors. The top 5 editors are (after compression) all of 4 kilobytes in size.

Another list for DOS, Windows and Unix is here: http://www.modest-proposals.com/Twee.htm

The idea here is that there are sometimes needs for very small text editors that can fit onto tiny (which is a subjective term for certain!) media. For example a small text editor to fit on a 170k Commodore C64 floppy!

IBM OS/2 used to have a copy of the E editor on its boot floppies. Linux does the same.

What Tiny Editors do you know of?
