Ed made a lot of sense in the days of teletype terminals.
- stevekemp 3y agoI have fond memories of using edlin on MS-DOS 3.x. Similar system, but of course no remote access to the system there.
- projektfu 3y agoAs a kid I thought it was insane, the commodore 64 was easier than the IBM PC/AT, but I see how with a hardcopy, you can have your program or document printed in front of you with line numbers, then you just edit as you need. On a visual terminal it gets hard remembering what's there. I was really relieved they added EDIT to DOS 4.
