I’d love to read the original source code of this:

https://ecsoft2.org/t-tiny-editor

This was our standard editor back in the day, not an “emergency tool”. And it’s only 9kB in size … which feels absurd in 2023. 😅 The entire hex dump fits on one of today’s screens.

Being so small meant it had no config file. Instead, it came with TKEY.EXE, a little tool to binary-patch T.EXE to your likings.

T with customized theme, empty file

T with default theme, showing LICENSE.TXT

TKEYS.DEF, the “config file”

Woh.. never heard of it. Growing up it was always just the MS EDIT.EXE or for more advanced stuff Nortons editor.
