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 and edit.com
