AKID and KID text editors

Description

AKID and KID are text editors released with the MSX-DOS2 tools by ASCII.

Differences between them (extracted from Relearning MSX):

  • KID supports editing text in Japanese, AKID supports only western characters
  • KID can edit up to around 60 KB in size, AKID up to 110 KB
  • All operations are generally faster in AKID, because KID runs in a graphics mode and has to move around more data
