Why not "wordpad"? which is in all the Windows.
You can change to that in EPlauch options.

You've also missed UltraEdit/UltraCompare.
Textpad has:
Save as
Rectangular selection (called block edit mode) but this is less than useful for many IDF files. I do find it useful though.
Side by side compare (?) view -- not as comparing as Ultracompare.
We usually publish the syntax highlights for TextPad and Ultraedit after each release.
Textpad keywords are limited to 60 characters, more or less, so 7.1 broke it. 7.2 will fix it.
Both Ultraedit and Textpad syntax highlighting are very editable.
Someone made a Notepad++ syntax but it hasn't been kept up to date.

Hi all,
It might be useful for some of us who gets annoyed with notepad.
I did a quick comparison of three text editors: TextPad 6.1.3, Notepad++ 6.1.5 and relatively new Sublime 2.1.
I have selected several features, some of which I found very useful, others somehow useful.
E.g. very useful:
- Syntax highlighting,
- Side by side file compare (someone may know this feature from Total Commander),
- Text fold/unfold(collapse/uncollapse)
Somehow useful:
- Save Copy As ... ,
- Rectangular selection (used to be in the stone age qedit)
A picture in the attachment shows the results of this comparison.
In brief, NONE of these editors can claim having MORE THAN ONE useful feature!
Your comments and personal experience are very welcome.
Thanks,
