Don't forget InfoPad (included with CC386), it uses (modified) DFlat
also, so maybe it could be adapted to (additionally) make EDIT386.

You know what can edit arbitrary-sized files? sed !!! (My favorite!)
Maybe that should be included in FreeDOS 1.1 by default!   ;-))

All of the data generated in your IT infrastructure is seriously valuable.
Why? It contains a definitive record of application performance, security 
threats, fraudulent activity, and more. Splunk takes this data and makes 
sense of it. IT sense. And common sense.
