Note: I'm in/on the mailing list of GNU.DE. ========== Microsoft's Edit, as supplied in W98se, is a pretty good text editor. It handles laaaarrrg files. Under Windows, it permits one to use fonts of different sizes. MEdit, published as part of MGUI by Vincenzo Morello, is a graphic text editor. It's quite attractive - and *it* permits one to *also* use different font sizes - but *this under DOS*!!! See - http://web.tiscali.it/morello/MGui/demos.html The documentation for MEdit asserts that GRX20DVD (under DOS) is required. I can't find GRX20DVD *anywhere*. I'll donate $100 to the administrators of GNU.DE - payable via Paypal or by Western Union - for a copy of GRX20DVD (under DOS, a copy that'll permit MEdit to work correctly). I'll donate *even more* if somebody would like to work with Vincenzo's source code to *improve* MEdit (under DOS). Thanks. Mark.

You do not need that. Just download and install the last source version of grx from its site
http://grx.gnu.de/download/grx248s.zip
install it in a working djgpp setup (it will be in the contrib subdirectory of the main djgpp directory, in my case c:\DJGPP) and compile and install it using the instructions provided. You can skip this step by installing in your djgpp setup directly binaries given at
http://www.gnu-pascal.de/djgpp/grx248b.zip
Then I have downloaded the mGUI files for djgpp given in the download directory accessed from the main page
http://web.tiscalinet.it/morello/MGui/index.html
(mgcom412.zip mjdjg412.zip medit22.zip demo400.zip plus mgdes405.zip (probably not needed) and doc files mgdoc121.tgz and mgdes405.zip)
I unzipped everything inside the contrib subdirectory of djgpp (all goes in a mGui subdirectory of contrib: check it)
Then use a DOS box and set as prescribed in the docs
set GRX20DRV=VESA gw 1024 nc 16M set MGUIDIR=c:\DJGPP\contrib\mgui\sys
The demo4\dos_gui\demo4.exe runs directly.
The tests test\djgpp\mguitest and test\djgpp\mgpptest compile seamlessly with the makefile s provided, and run without problems.
The medit also compile and run using the makefile provided.
I use DJGPP V2.04 (beta) in a DOS box of Windows XP
If you want only to run medit you probably not need to install everything: this is needed only to compile, but you will need some experimenting to see what part is mandatory (certainly at least the mgui/sys directory which contains fonts and images).
Good luck
Maurice

If you want only to run medit under DOS, you do not need all this stuff Simply unzip medit22.zip at the root of a dos disk (keeping the directory structure): it will go into the directory c:\mgui Then extract the file CWSDPMI.EXE from the file csdpmi5b.zip in the djgpp distribution and put it into c:\mgui\medit\dos_bin (this is probably the step you missed: it is mandatory in pure DOS, not when you run in a DOS box under some version of Windows)
optionally to ease the call to medit and cleanup at the end put at the root of C: or anywhere in your PATH the following file
medit.bat
set OLDPATH=%PATH% set PATH=C:\MGUI\MEDIT\DOS_BIN;%PATH% set GRX20DRV=VESA gw 1280 nc 16M set MGUIDIR=C:\MGUI\SYS medit.exe %1 %2 %3 %4 %5 %6 %7 %8 %9 set PATH=%OLDPATH% set GRX20DRV= set MGUIDIR=
then simply type at the dos prompt
medit <some file name>
You can delete the source files contained in the mgui\medit directory, and you do not need the grx distrib which is used only to compile medit
