Like: Gap buffer: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gap_buffer Rope: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rope_(data_structure) Piece Table: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Piece_table More on the topic: https://www.texteditors.org/cgi-bin/wiki.pl?DesigningTextEditors I agree, that is major work. But there are many good (and free) text editors available for DOS that can edit large text. "edit.exe" is a simple and limited tool, but good enough for the intended use case.
