Looking for Windows Notepad equivalent for DOS (Users)

Hi! Looking at the many editors included here:

https://www.ibiblio.org/pub/micro/pc-stuff/freedos/files/distributions/1.3/official/report.html

you could try SETEDIT, TDE, VIM, ELVIS, FREEMACS, MSEDIT, MBEDIT or Blocek?

The VI or EMACS clones might be less interesting, but

http://osplus.sourceforge.net/
http://setedit.sourceforge.net/

or MSEDIT, TDE or the Unicode-supporting MinEd or Blocek could be useful. Note that most of those are 32-bit DOS apps, but I guess you do not need to be able to edit your 300 kB file on 8086
