The first good enough plain text editor I was really happy with (for maintenance jobs) was ted.com, which was published by PC Magazine as assembler. I had to type it all. Living in Spain in a student residence, there was no way I could grab a modem and download it from some server of the magazine in the USA. Not even using my parents phone, they would skin me alive for the cost of the international call "for some computer game". So I typed it all :-D The .com file was about 3 KB, perhaps less. Perfect for floppies (360 KB or so each) -- Cheers, Carlos.
