This article was previously published under Q66047 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.
