Using the built-in editor in a DOS D-Base clone was almost enough to make me give up programming. Every time I touched the source file it would leave an "artifact" that would be invisible on the screen but would drive the compiler nuts.
I finally decided to install a TSR editor so I could jump out of the IDE, modify the source and jump back in to test the code. I was never a big fan of TSRs so the only thing I had available for install was PC Tools Desktop. I limped though with that but I figured there must be a better way.
Some Internet research turned up references to Qedit and Ntaker (for a more thorough compilation go to http://www.oldskool.org/guides/texteditors - be sure to return) but none of these were suitable.
So, if we can avoid WWIII I would like to ask the experts for their nominations: What's your favorite DOS TSR PLAINTEXT EDITOR?
Thanks,
