EditPad Classic
text editor
Developer: JGsoft

Description:
EditPad Classic is a replacement for the standard Windows NotePad. EditPad Classic requires Windows 95 or later to run. No additional DLLs or whatever are required.

EditPad Classic is the original EditPad developed by a student named Jan Goyvaerts in 1996 and released as postcardware. Postcardware means that if you want to keep the software after a short trial period, you should send the author a nice postcard from the region where you lived. With the advent of version 3 in 1997, EditPad became one of the most popular text editors on the Windows platform. It was fast and compact and it had all the basic functionality a text editor needs.

EditPad Classic is no longer supported. No new features will be added to EditPad Classic. Any bugs or other limitations of the software will not be fixed. If you already have a copy and are happy with it, you are welcome to continue using it.

EditPad Classic has been superceded by EditPad Lite and EditPad Pro. These versions are the result of redeveloping EditPad from scratch and have many interesting new features (certainly EditPad Pro), while still remaining as fast and compact as EditPad Classic. EditPad Lite and EditPad Pro are available at http://www.editpadlite.com and http://www.editpadpro.com respectively.

EditPad Classic has some very interesting features:

* EditPad can open as many files at a time as you want.
* You change between the open files by clicking on their tabs.
No hassle with heaps of overlapping windows.
* If you run EditPad again when there is already an instance running, the file(s) you wish to edit will be opened by the existing EditPad window. This means there will be at most one EditPad window open, which will save you from a lot of task switching.
* If you do need more instances, simply pick View|New editor from the menu.
* If you wish, the EditPad window stays on top of all other windows
* Block functions:
Save parts of your text to disk
Insert a file in the current text
* Specify many print settings: font, margins, headers/footers, line spacing, etc.
* Reopen menu that lists the last 16 files opened.
* Configure the open and save dialog file filters.
* ANSI <=> OEM (DOS ASCII) conversion.
* MAPI support.
* Easy and working installation and uninstallation.
