Use the FreeDOS edit.

If you want to view a .txt file in dosbox just use the "type" command.

Thanks,

If you are on any Windows version since Win95, edit.com is included with Windows, just look for it in Windows folder and subfolders and copy it to the folder you mount in DOSBox.

Not 64-bit Windows.

Actually this is a better solution for what I am doing, thx. I legally own Windows 3.1, 95, 2000 and XP. I'll give it a try, I suppose I could mount a MS-DOS .img too. However I was trying to avoid having to set that up for a simple text editor.

I don't think any NT based windows has edit.com, does it?

Well they had to add *something* that works with their DOS VM 😁

My installation of Windows XP came with it in windows\system32 folder. Funny how they drag along unchanged piece of software from 1995 with they OSes. 😀

Yeah I figured that would have been scraped a while ago, I ripped a edit.com file from a windows 95 recovery floppy I had laying around, version 2 or whatever. Works for me, I wonder if the one XP had was a later version.

i have the same version on xp but with different language. =OO

hkhkhk

how do i resolve insufficient memory for DOS application?
