You can use the Dos editor because Win95 comes with a good Dos editor that'll open up to 9 files at once (much cooler than the old one. You could open them with Wordpad, but I don't like it very much. What I've been using is PFE (programmer's file editor) see the link on my site, it's a free download, there's a few commands that are diff than the standard Windows commands, but it does loads of cool stuff, one of the things I like about it is that it has a command to switch to the directory that your open file is in, and then you can edit some code, then use it's built in Dos prompt and it'll open up the dos box to the directory that you're in, and you can then compile with djgpp. So I'm a big fan of PFE.
