J-P Takala:

I copied the following files to a 1.44 floppy. NB4 seems to be able to run
from it in my main computer, although I haven't tested it on a laptop
(my laptop is a Toshiba 1000 which only takes 720 floppies). I think I
PKLITE-ed the executables to make them fit.

Hmm.. I think I'll try it without the help files and see if it will run on
the T1000...  Ok, here's what I copied:

It worked OK for simple editing, provided I bootd from a floppy with DOS 3.3
(the T1000 boots in ROM with DOS 2, which results in NB crashing out to the
DOS command line. It might be that a change in config.sys would help, but so
does booting with a later DOS).  Anyway, it sort of works, but several of
the features seem to *require* the help files  in order to work successfully,
so those are inaccessible.
