    Nope {chuckle} Neither Edit.Com nor Edit.Exe is available, but if you just type
    Edit it will start up Notepad :)

    Hi Tony,

    this is a silly question but if i try edit.com under windows 7 64b
    will it work? i hav to find a hard drive with my xp on it.

    That is the reason to keep my system, including the Win 10 as 32 bit.

    I have too many programs that I still want to be able to use, without
    having to register them again.


    Seasons Greetings,

    Holger

    No. EDIT.COM is a 16-bit DOS application, technically.

    Holger,

    I have too many programs that I still want to be able to use, without HG>having to register them again.

    Same here...I can't see throwing out perfectly good working hardware and software...never mind having to buy and register all new programs and peripherals...by upgrading to 64-bit.

    Besides, many of the legacy BBS items work under 32-bit, but NOT under 64-bit.
