No text editing???

[Janina Sajka]

Well, it can. But, it's a little trouble to set up, and a little trouble
to use:

1.)	You need to set dosemu up and give it all its DOS tools;

2.)	You need to make sure that the file you want to edit gets copied
into a partition/directory that dosemu can see;

3.)	You need to run unix2dos on it--and when you're done, you need to
run dos2unix on it;

4.)	You cannot use it (as far as I know) as a default editor for pine
or lynx.

Given all these restrictions, if it's still useful, you certainly can run
with WordPerfect's Eed for DOS, or whatever.
