Witzend Text Editor for DOS download

The Witzend Editor (TM) is ideal when you don't need all the features of a huge word processor. The DOS-based Witzend Editor makes writing simpler and more productive, perfect for older systems and for those people who work at least occasionally in DOS.

The Editor's small size may seem to belie its many abilities:

* On-line help
* Drop-down menus
* Cut/copy/paste up to 64k
* Cut/copy/paste columns
* Recall and edit previous commands
* 43/50-line mode
* Edit large documents
* Temporary exit to DOS
* Import file into document
* Print entire document or segment
* Search forward or backward
* Run programs from Editor
* Search/replace all or part
* Print to disk
* Word wrap
* Go to specified row or page
* Multiple undelete
* Sorting
* Edit two documents at once
* 100,000-word spell checker
* Document comparisons
* File management
* Automatic horizontal scrolling
* Customizable

The Editor easily handles large files over 500K in size -- more than 350 double-spaced pages. Document workspace stays entirely in memory so response is exceptionally quick. The Editor creates standard ASCII text files that you can share with other applications. It loads and saves documents nearly instantly and is completely compatible with Windows.

Every feature reflects the Editor's philosophy of simplicity and intelligence. For example, the most common commands, such as search and cut-and-paste, require only a single keystroke.
