Hey Kev,

Notepad no good?

That one only works upto 64 KByte, which isn't quite enough (even a small
listing goes over that).

I don't know if it was installed with every version of Win98, but
you could try the "edit" command in a DOS window to bring up
the DOS editor.

Shucks. I've been using that DOS window for so long most only in fullscreen
mode that I forgot it works as well in windowed mode. And EDIT seems to
understand long filenames.

The only thing against EDIT would be the absense of decent copy-paste
functionality (from/into other open windows).

Regards,
Rudy Wieser

If that still won't do and you can't find a Windows editor online that
does what you want (though I personally can't imagine what WordPad adds
to plain text editing anyway, except perhaps multiple undo cycles), there
are a lot of very well featured DOS text editors out there as well.
