 Add one more to the mix:

 If you are using OS/2 and the DOS version of Qedit (which is what I am
 doing) then you can tinker with the settings of the program icon and
 get about 740K of memory for Qedit.   In an experiment, I was able to
 get about a 15% improvement in the file size by setting the video mode
 to CGA.  In an edit of a very big file (part of the nodelist) I could
 read about 6800 lines instead of only 5800 lines with the normal 640k
 setting.
 JN> Unfortunately, the OS/2 version of QEdit is commercial - there is no
 JN> shareware version available.
 Was there ever an OS/2 shareware version?  I bought Qedit before I
 upgraded to OS/2 and never felt like paying the upgrade price for the
 OS/2 version (nor for version 4.0 either) and have stuck with version
 3.0 for DOS which does everything I want it to do (most of the time).
