I think this should be
if processor 386+
edit32 the file
else
edit.exe the file
endif
IMHO getting a different editor depending on filesize is not your best idea
and btw it's not necessary to have a 386+ CPU to edit a 500 KB+ file.
there were definitively (nonfree) editors around in 80286 times.
all that is required is a programmer that wants to implement this.
I wouldn't hold my breath though.
Tom
