73042 2002-08-21 13:46:00 its called metapad (www.liquidninja.com), its small, fast and free, and is like a new 'v2 notepad' (ive replaced the notepad exe with this program, thats how good it is to me), the full version has no size limit on txt file size, so any size file can be opened in it (well, i havent had any problems yet with files i used to have problems with), and they also have a LE version, which i dont have, so cant comment on.

grtz sal.

73043 2002-08-22 05:02:00 Thanks Sal, looks quite good. Another alternative to Notepad is Textpad which Im using an eval version of... http://www.textpad.com/

What I found good about textpad is its macros. You can record macros much like in Excel/Word except it has a repeat function which you can run through the text.

cheers

73045 2002-08-22 06:11:00 Meh the whole point of Notepad is that it is so small and plain. It's the best.

Plus the later versions (2000/XP and ?????) do allow CTRL+S and the like.

73046 2002-08-22 12:28:00 yes, but i am regularly editing misc files that it cant open cos they are too big, so these are great alternatives

73047 2002-08-23 02:27:00 If you're familiar with NoteTab Lite, and reckon metapad is still better, I'll be forced to try it out. Greg S (201)
73048 2002-08-23 04:14:00 no, i havent tried notetab lite, but i still think you should try metapad out

73049 2002-08-23 04:38:00 Wow Sal you're efficient! *groan* That's another of my weaknesses - always slow to get down to stuff. Looking forward to seeing it.

Also, I suggest ya look at NoteTab too - but I'll check out yours first. :)
