I'm looking for a text editor that would open .txt files in DOS and let me work with the content and then save it in the legacy "DOSey" format.
"DOSey format"? No such thing. A .TXT file is a .TXT file.
That is what I thought, too. However, over the years, a couple of things
have proven otherwise:
(1) I could be mis-remembering this, but I would swear that sometimes TXT
files edited in Windows Notepad didn't show up right in DOS editors later.
(2) Editing a txt file in linux, saving it, and then opening it in DOS --
or vise-versa. The EOL formats are different.
For #2 I learned that the first time I tried linux. I was using a
Slackware variant called, IIRC, ZIPslack that allowed you to install a
linux environment on a DOS machine. I would try editing the config files
in QEdit and the linux utilities did *not* like that! ;)
