ex bloatware?
To Rob Craig.
bloatware: being big for containing unnecessary things
ex.exe (2.0) is 176,417 bytes.
Even after renaming ED.BAT and ED.EX, I still get a "with trace trace(1)"
program traced with the similar editor interface.
BUT when bound, the program's size becomes (size of ex.exe WITH ALL TRACING
CAPABILITY) + (5 bytes identification) + (size of shrouded file), and trace
no longer works.
I don't know if profile works the same.
Why not also include a SMALLER public domain ex.* that does not support
debugging at all (not even 300 lines), that ignores with trace, and that
can be bound to have a smaller executable?
Why not use this space (heh -- it even includes syntax highlighting with
PRESET colors, which I hate... especially the string color green-on-white
is unreadable) for something more useful like built-in delete [#41],
rename/move [#56], mkdir [#39], rmdir [#3A], chdir [#3B], setfattr [#4301],
setftime [#5701], disksize/diskfree [#36], lock/unlock [#5C],
isdriveremoveable[#4408? not documented in DOSREF34.EXE 
], exec without
command.com [#4B], LFN functions [#71??], ...
ps. Again, I would like a statement counter, this shouldn't be too hard
because it already works to disable the "core dump" 
pps When'll Linux version be ready? Is a BSD/OS version planned? I don't
mind compiling
