EDIT: Editing ASCII Files

It is many times useful to have a small editor available for editing ASCII batch and configuration files. Notepad and Wordpad are examples of such small editors that can be used with Windows 95. It is also useful to have a command line ASCII editor. All versions of Windows come with the EDIT program, which is a DOS-based ASCII editor. I usually copy this editor to any startup disk or boot disk so that I can make small changes to configuration or batch files, even if Windows is not available. The files EDIT.COM and EDIT.HLP can be found in the c:\windows\command directory for Windows 95 and in the c:\winnt\system directory for Windows NT.
