DOS ain't dead

Okay, so I barely remembered JED for DOS/DJGPP as working quite well (esp. mouse integration although I don't use that). However, since I'm frequenting on a different computer (and old laptop fizzled), I have to get it all over again. For some dumb reason, Mr. Davis still only has "old" 0.99.16's .ZIP on his FTP, and even rr's old link ( http://www.bttr-software.de/misc/jed9918d.zip ) is dead.

But I did try rebuilding (before trying to grab all those again for completeness), and luckily newer S-Lang versions don't have the incompatibilities with JED that older ones had. (I think rr said old 2.0.7 was needed for 0.99.18.)

Well, anyways, just FYI for anybody who cares, it does apparently work again. I should really whip up a quick .BAT to show how to recompile it. It doesn't take long, so gimme a few minutes, and I'll respond to myself!

P.S. Don't forget http://jedmodes.sourceforge.net/

N.B. Dennis, if you're reading this, rr's link is broken even on texteditors.org's JED page. (See, rr, you thought your compile wasn't important? Heh.)
