The MS-DOS / PC-DOS text mode default text editor (aka edit.exe). '''Author:''' Microsoft Corporation '''Homepage:''' http://www.microsoft.com '''Family:''' MsDosEditors and CuaFamily '''Platform:''' MS-DOS and Windows '''License:''' Commercial This text editor appeared sometime after MS-DOS version 3.3. Earlier versions of DOS only had [[EDLIN]]. : The early versions were based on the QBASIC interpreter provided with MS-DOS, calling QBASIC with a parameter that invoked it in its text editor personality. (I believe edit.exe was actually a compiled batch file that did this.) : Later versions (as of DOS 5.0, I think), were an actual editor not based on QBASIC. : --DMcCunney : MS-DOS 5, OS/2 and early Windows NT (to version 4) came with QBasic and Edit.com, vers 1.0 Edit loads qbasic IDE to edit general files. : MS-DOS 6.xx comes with QBasic + Edit + Help 1.1. Edit as in 1.0, Help uses qbasic help system to read the MS-DOS help file. : Windows 9x, and Windows 2000 and later (32-bit versions), come with Edit 2.0, a standalone file. : --WKrieger
