 VB> Can anyone recommend a good 4dos descript.ion editor that works from
 VB> win95.

I've had great luck with the freeware 4DEC.EXE in Win95 (and OS/2 and DOS).

You can file request the below file anytime.  Or, I can e-mail it to you if
you have an E-Mail address.

4UTILS84.ZIP   151245

Free utilities for 4DOS/NDOS. Includes:
1) 4DESC 1.74 Full-screen 4DOS file
description editor with mouse support
and cut and paste capability. Scrollable
editing of 200-character descriptions.
Calls file viewer, editor or DOS shell.
2) 4FF 1.83 4DOS-aware file finder. Looks
inside .ZIP, .ARJ, and .LZH files.
Displays descriptions of found files.

Includes Turbo Pascal 7.0 source code.

Cheers,
      John

NOTE:  Since this is a Turbo Pascal program it will choke on systems faster
than a Pentium-II 233.  But I was able to patch it just fine with the
T-PENT2.ZIP patch program.
