Hi Ralf, thank for the advise. I have a copy of David King’s TED lying around which I tend to use in such situations. The binary is 12KiB. In this case, the license probably speaks against the integration.
https://texteditors.org/cgi-bin/wiki.pl?Ted3 From a user-friendliness point of view, my personal opinion is that an editor should be included if possible. At least regarding the 1,44M floppy edition there is 815KB free space on the boot disk.
