Edit, a new version of MS-DOS Editor, is open source and can run on Windows, macOS and Linux. Credit: Microsoft 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. If you want to try Edit, it can be downloaded from Github. SUBSCRIBE TO OUR NEWSLETTER From our editors straight to your inbox Get started by entering your email address below.
