PEDIT 4.00

http://www.flaxfx.com/dwl/pedit.zip DOS-based ASCII editors are generally pretty thick on the ground and most are in the 'ho hum' category -- you'd wonder why anyone would go out of their way to write a program when Microsoft has included MS-Edit (which doesn't do a bad job) with all recent releases of DOS. Pedit is not just another ASCII text editor and, even though it has a similar look-and-feel to MS-Edit, the enhancements make it a bloomin' marvel. Pedit has such refinements as a spell checker, thesaurus, macro facility, word wrap, heaps of keyboard shortcuts (many based on the old WordStar commands but also includes many Windows ones, like Ctl-X, Ctrl-C, etc) and it even has a pop up table showing ASCII numbers. Win95 users will be pleased to note that it supports long filenames. There are heaps more features, many of them aimed directly at programmers, but the best thing to do is to go and test drive this baby yourself. The options menu is Alt-F1 and there you find everything you need to customize it to your heart's content.
