"Program Cannot Start or Run: The program or feature "\??\C:\EDIT.EXE"

Please contact the software vendor to ask if a 64-bit Windows compatible
version is available."

This is the MS-DOS Editor 2.0.026 that was shipped with Windows 95A, and
it has worked on every OS (DOS6.22 to WinXP32-Bit), and now x64 has arrived,
most of the old console apps have been ported, but no MS-DOS Editor which is
the program I always use to edit files, programming in C, and editing binary
files, and I have never used another program such as Notepad or a Hex
Editor.

I tried running this on DosBox (8086 emulator) and it does not run very
well due to it not recognizing certain key combinations.

I was wondering if anyone knows if anyone has done a port to Win32/64
console or if there is anyway that Microsoft can go out of their way to
convert this great 16-Bit DOS app to a Win32 Console or Win64 Console app,
or even release the source code to it so I can convert it myself (!).

Thank you

You can remap keyboard commands in DosBox by hitting CTRL+F1 while in
DosBox.

You can also bore out a 283 cubic inch Chevy engine 0.125" and get 301 cubic
inches.
