#EdLin servía!

Nice find in a charity shop today #Edlin #TreesWoodsandMan

Hard to believe, but after all these years, I found a setting in Windows Explorer I hadn't noticed before.

It might not always have been there, I no longer repair PCs for folks, so I stopped studying every possible thing you could do to break one.
The feature may have come with an upgrade.

So, my explorer locked up a few times, which cased me to look further, and I see t his tiny √ and there were options! Nothing I need, it was just new to me.

My first App was Edlin. 🤓

@mattdagley I remember Quick Basic! Long ago. When I had just purchased DOS 4 (no one used it) and then 5 came out, so I went from 3-5, ditching 4. They bundled this with OS sometimes.
I go way back.. #EDLIN was my Word Processor.

Another gorgeous machine at the #CentreForComputingHistory running #DOS3. Tried to leave some documentation for the next visitors so they could at least save a text file in #edlin. Slow refresh rate made the cathode ray monitor a little hard to capture.

Folks, if you downloaded that #edlin replacement for your 80286 from #simtel20 at wsmr-simtel20.army.mil back in the 80s, you now have one of the longest-running
#APTs on your local home network. Take action now.

JK. …I hope.

@elb I've never needed to use ed, but this does remind me of #edlin on #DOS. A bit of Wikipedia spelunking tells me that edlin is a descendent of ed, interesting.

It is interesting to live in a world where programming languages are designed around the assumption that the user has features like auto-indent. I hadn't stopped to think about how annoying it would be to edit, say, Python with nano or joe or anything else without a Python mode.
