The information in this article applies to:

- Microsoft MS-DOS operating system versions 5.0, 5.0a, 6.0, 6.2, 6.21, 6.22

SUMMARY
=======

If you do not plan to use either QBasic or EDIT, which are provided with MS-DOS
versions 5.0 and later, you can delete the following files:

  QBASIC.EXE
  QBASIC.HLP
  EDIT.COM
  EDIT.HLP
  All files with a .BAS extension

If you plan to use EDIT but not QBasic, delete all the files with a .BAS
extension and QBASIC.HLP. Do not delete QBASIC.EXE; EDIT.COM actually invokes
QBASIC.EXE and cannot run without it.

For more information on this subject, query on the following words:

  "qbasic" (without the quotation marks) and "edit.com" (without the quotation
  marks)
