TextPad
When just getting the job done is work enough, the last thing you need is to
waste time having to learn yet another computer application. Your experience
with other tools should be relevant to each new application, making it possible
to sit down and use that new application right away.
That's why TextPad® is so
popular. Whether you simply need a powerful replacement for Notepad, a tool for
editing your web pages, or a programming IDE, TextPad does what you want, the
way you would expect.
It's available from this web site on a try before you buy basis, so please download your
