It was thus said that the Great Paul Berger once stated:
The DOS
editor I really like was originally call PE and an enhanced
version "E" was shipped with later version of PC-DOS, there are also
some clones of the editor floating around as well. I still use this
editor regularly because of its very flexible ways of selecting and
manipulating text.
I used PE 1.0 for *years* as my editor, and only found two issues with it:
1) it only supported lines of 255 characters or less
2) it didn't handle files where lines didn't end with CRLF
That's it. I was even able to edit files that exceeded the RAM of the
machine (I didn't do it often since it was sluggish but it could handle it).
