When MS-DOS 5.0 was released in 1991, one of the big innovations was the MS-DOS Editor, a classic text editor that quickly became popular with users. Now, Microsoft has developed a new version of MS-DOS Editor called Edit, according to Ars Technica.
Compared to the original, Edit offers a number of improvements, including support for Unicode. In addition, the 300-kilobyte limit has been removed, meaning users can work with gigabyte-sized files if they want.
Edit was written in the Rust programming language and is based on open-source code. And it doesn’t require Windows to run; the text editor works just as well on macOS or Linux.
