It's unlikely that you'll be able to use the old Borland stuff. If you're talking about the vintage I'm thinking of, it won't run under a memory-managed, I/O protected system.

I might add that neither the old EDIT that ran under MS-DOS nor the EDIT that runs under cmd.exe is a GUI. They're purely text mode. You can achieve that functionality by merely making a console-based application.
