... i cannot tell what operating-system you are using unless OE4 is
only available for win95 upwards ?
if you are using Ms.windoze then try notepad.exe
if you are using Ms.dos then try edit.exe or edlin.exe
if you are using unix then try vi or emacs

If anyone tried using edlin for ascii art they'd soon need to go and lie in a darkened room for an hour! In fact I don't think it's even supplied on standard Microsoft distribution media any more (although it is still available on a supplementary "diehard disk" for people who have trouble keeping up :-). Borland Brief is a good screen editor for DOS, far better than Microsoft's Edit junk. Unfortunately I don't think Brief is supported any more. The only problem I have with Brief (using v3) is the typamatic (repeat) functionality. This is apparently not real-time based but just a crude processor loop; so whereas it works fine on a 20 MHz 386, holding a key down for a fraction too long on say a 250 MHz Pentium II adds, or worse still wipes, about a megabyte of text. If anyone knows of a patch for this, or a version that doesn't suffer from it, I'd be eternally, leg-hugglingly grateful. Perhaps the best solution is a product called Slick Edit, because you can configure it to mimic almost any screen editor, including Brief, Code View (I think?), Emacs, vi, etc. It works on DOS, OS/2, and Windows. >if you are using unix then try vi or emacs Don't get me started on vi! Just thinking about the detestable pile of poo makes my blood pressure rise, and I have to use the wretched thing at work. emacs is far better, infinitely superior. For vi bigots^H^H^H^H^H^H enthusiasts, and a few do exist, there is a graphical (multi-colour, multi-window) version called "vim". But this is a classic case of trying to make a silk purse out of a sow's ear. > > ''''''''`. .-"""-. ,'''''''''' > ''''''''`.`._ .`.-"""-.`. _,','''''''''' > `._`-./.` `.\,-'_,' > `-./ \,-' > _,-`\ /'-._ > ,`_,-`\`, ,`/'-._'. > ........,`,` `,`-...-`,` '.'.......... > ........,` `-...-` '.......... > ''''''''`. .-"""-. ,'''''''''' > ''''''''`.`._ .`.-"""-.`. _,','''''''''' > `._`-./.` `.\,-'_,' > `-./ \,-' > _,-`\ /'-._ > ,`_,-`\`, ,`/'-._'. > ........,`,` `,`-...-`,` '.'.......... > ........,` `-...-` '.......... Nice. It vaguely reminds me of the floating critter in Commander Keen (one of the first PC games by ID Software).
