DWED

Text file editor and IDE for MS-DOS and 8086/88 CPU (IBM XT-grade PC) designed in modern style.

Main features:

  • Support files with size over 64kb (~300kb conventional, or up to 2gb swap)
  • Dont require DPMI-server or 80286 CPU, but support huge swap-file (could be placed on ramdisk)
  • Support basic syntax highlight (C/C++/C--, Pascal, Basic, Assembler, Xml/Html, text files etc)
  • Support multiple file editing at the same time
  • Support unix-like text files for open
  • Support Long File Names (LFN)
  • Support internal clipboard (size up to 32kb)
  • Support Windows Clipboard (you can use it with clipdrv or DosBox-X)
  • Support user's color scheme (via config-file)
  • Support user's shell script running by hotkeys F5, F8, F9.
  • You can disable highlight and receive good speed with XT.
  • Support mouse

Restrictions:

  • This software is writen in Turbo Pascal, so string length is limited to 255 chars.
  • DWED don't parse file content in the same way, as compilers - so, some time syntax highlight can fail (be wrong). I know it. But it is better then nothing.
  • No Undo/Redo functionality. The reason is the same as why i dont build AST for syntax highlight - here is no memory/CPU speed for it.

Here is small review/intro on FreeDOS channel: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7zFomGoKdlQ

How to run and use

Use:

C:\DWED\dwed.exe filename1 .. filenameN

Use key F1 to get more documentation (hotkeys, tips etc). I don't want write documentation and put all knowledge to buildin help.
