Nano For MS-DOS
 
Hello,
I saw that at nano site there are a mirror for MS-DOS binaries, I was thinking about having that on my emulated 8088 at my Jornada 720... I always wondered about having Linux under PocketDOS emulator...

Best Regards,
Nathan Paulino Campos

Someone have a link to the nano MS-DOS binaries?

http://www.nano-editor.org/download.php has a WinNT/Win95 binary. Bearing in mind that Nano is a command line editor, I would assume that it will open in Dos. You could also look at the links on the download page to see if there is an alternate pure Dos download, as the link that shows Dos versions is broken.

Hello XavierP, the problem is that I'm talking about 16-Bit MS-DOS, not 32-Bit, like the ones that came with Windows 95 and 98 :(

It looks as though whoever was maintaining the DOS version is no longer doing so. http://www.nano-editor.org/contact.php gives you methods to contact the group to see if anyone else is doing so, though since 16 bit DOS is no more it may not exist.

Contacted them, when the response arrives I will quote it here. Thanks for the help XavierP :)

No worries. Your other option may be to install Cygwin, though that is Windows rather than Dos.
