If anyone finds any bugs or errors in my code, don't hesitate to tell
me, as long as it's legitimate. I do not believe that I introduced new
bugs in 2.20, but you never know.
As far as I know, there are two giant missing pieces of Edlin that I can
surmise from all I have read about it. One is the obsolete workings of
M$ Edlin's 'a' command. The second is implementing the F-keys and others
with regard to modifying lines. The former is truly an obsolete way of
dealing with large files; the latter I am constantly thinking about how
to do it portably without making it look like a bag on the side of
Edlin. If anyone can help remedy this and other headaches, I'd be happy.

I'm resharing an announcement from the website about Edlin 2.20:
Thanks to Gregory Pietsch, there is a new version of the classic
FreeDOS Edlin editor. If you haven't used Edlin, it's a text-mode
"line editor" for DOS that's similar to the Unix "ed(1)" editor. Some
of the more visible changes in this version of Edlin: + Added '#' as a
synonym for "$+1" + Added "New file." for new filenames on command
line + Added "Abort edit (Y/N)? " message. You can download the source
code from Edlin at SourceForge
<https://sourceforge.net/projects/freedos-edlin/>. We have also
mirrored this release in the FreeDOS Files Archive at Ibiblio, under
/files/dos/edlin
<https://ibiblio.org/pub/micro/pc-stuff/freedos/files/dos/edlin/2.20/>
<<<<
I've also compiled Edlin 2.20 for DOS (both 16-bit and 32-bit) and
shared my executables here:
https://ibiblio.org/pub/micro/pc-stuff/freedos/files/dos/edlin/2.20/
edlin-220exe.zip
*I did only light testing of these Edlin executables, but they
compiled without error and they seem to run fine for me. Please test
yourself before using.
