Thanks for this hint, but the purpose of my post wasn't to provide another "fantastic" and "most up-to-date" DOS editor, but to prove

- that VC TK 2003 works with - slightly modified - HXDEV 2.14.
- that linking with HX's static Win32 code works for real-life apps as well, not just artificial samples.
- that DGPJJ is inferior and heavily bloated compared to MSVC. The VC binary is just 510 kB and includes a 34 kB DPMI host, while the original DGPJJ binary is 680 kB without DPMI host.

MS-DOS forever!
