What does it do?
It is a text editor. And much more. If you use Wordpad a lot (like me), then
this program is a must.
Why is it better? Can open more than one file at a time with tabs/tags to switch
between then. Select/configure program to save configuration settings in an .ini
file and not to clog the dreaded registry even more. See
http://www.editpadpro.com/editpadlite.html for more functions.
Installation/Uninstallation It uses the Company's own excellent installation
program (DeployMaster) giving you more options on installation and to uninstall.
Performance I loaded a text file with 262 000 lines. No problem. Then I really
gave it a go by opening a 156 MB zip file (showing garbled text) with more than
2,3 million lines: Windows 2000 complained and increased the swap file size, but
EditPad Lite loaded it gracefully. And even wrapped and numbered the text file
with a nice progress bar. And scrolling up and down effortlessly (something
Wordpad cannot do with really big files). In short: It will not crash on you
that easy.
Help/Support Help file giving you the info short and sweet. As there are quite a
few functions to explore, take time to explore each one using the help file when
stuck. It will be worth the effort to know what this text editor is capable of.
Lite version limitations No spelling checker, no bullets and numbering, changing
fonts changes the whole file and not only the selection, cannot load images, no
good in displaying .rtf (Rich Text Format) files. This is a free "trailer" text
version of EditPad Pro. The Pro version can do a lot more. See
http://www.editpadpro.com/editpadpro.html for details.
