I'm looking for an updated, windows version of the old DOS text editor
called E. (I think its a ibm pc-dos version, but I'm not sure)

I don't need an identical clone, but something that has the same
feature set and basically works the same way. The new version should
run under XP and support long file names at a minumum.

If I need to be more specific, please let me know. 
Thank you,

Hi nuwanda,

Good day and thanks for your question.

I downloaded the 'E' editor from simtel.net and had a look at the
features it had to offer. In fact, there are a number of editors which
offer a wide variety of features. My favorite is UltraEdit.

UltraEdit
http://www.ultraedit.com
A list of features can be found at
http://www.ultraedit.com/products/features.html

If you're looking for freeware editors, the following two are
recommended:

ConTEXT
http://www.fixedsys.com/context/
Features at http://www.fixedsys.com/context/features.html

Crimson Editor
http://www.crimsoneditor.com/
Features http://www.crimsoneditor.com/english/features.html


These editors will run on Windows XP and they support long filenames.

Do try these out, and let me know if they lack any features you're
expecting. Please do not hesitate to request for a clarification of
the answer.

I'm not familiar with the E editor, but I found a similar question in
the usenet archives that suggested the TSE editor, available from
SemWare:

The semware product is the correct answer.
