Does anyone have an URL or name for a Notepad that would hold more than the
standard one on W98? We had one that would hold the whole HTML/Java code of
fancy downloaded MS stationary but lost it in the crash. Wordpad wont work
for what I'm working on. I can't seem to locate a free larger notepad on
the net anywhere. Can anyone help?

Thanks so much

metapad http://www.liquidninja.com/metapad/
edxor http://members.ozemail.com.au/~nulifetv/freezip/freeware/edxor.htm

The above are similar to notepad without the limitations.

The two I use may have more features then you want:
notetab light http://www.notetab.com/
keynote: http://www.tranglos.com/

Any of these will do-

At 46KB zipped, MetaPad would take some beating.

While your on the site have a good look around, you might find a few
more gems.

You could give Notepad++ a try here:

The main features of Notepad++

Notepad++ is a powerful editor. Not only it uses the
a powerful editor component Scintilla, but also it
is enhanced by adding the improved window controls.
The advanced point is Notepad++ has the same light
weight (in terms of the execution speed) as Notepad
provided with M$ Windows, and it has much more
functionality. The main features of Notepad++ are :

Syntax High Lighting and Syntax Folding : Supported
language : C, C++ (screenshot), Java (screenshot),
XML(screenshot), HTML, PHP, Java Script
(screenshot), RC resource file, makefile, ASCII art
file (extension .nfo , screenshot1, screenshot2),
doxygen, ini file and ASP (screenshot).

User Define Syntax High Lighting : It allows user to
colorize the words defined by the user (screenshot).

Multi-Document : You can edit several documents at
the same time.

Multi-View : You have two views at same time. That
means you can visualize (edit) 2 different documents
at the same time (screenshot). You can visualize
(edit) in the 2 views one document at 2 different
positions as well. The modification of document in
one view will carry out in another view (i.e. you
modify the SAME document when you are in clone mode,
see screenshot).

Regular Expression Search supported : You can search
one string in the docucument by using the regular
expression.

Full Drag ‘N’ Drop supported : You can open a
document by drag & drop. You can also move your
document from a position (or even a view) to another
by drag & drop.

Dynamic position of Views : The user can set the
position of the views dynamically (only in 2 views
mode : the splitter can be set in horizontal or in
vertical), see screenshot.

File Status Auto-detection : If you modify or delete
a file which opened in Notepad++, you will be
notified to update your document (reload the file or
remove the file).

Zoom in and zoom out : That’s another fantastic
function of Scintilla component. Just see
screenshot.

WYSIWYG : That’s again a miraculous functionality of
Scintilla component! If you have a color printer,
print your source code (or whatever) in color.

Multi-Language environment supported : The Chinese,
Japanese and Korean Windows environments are
supported. In the future, the Arabic and Hebrew
environments will be supported as well. See Notpad++
under the Chinese Windows screenshot.

Bookmark : User can just click on the bookmark
margin (located right side of line number margin) or
type Ctrl+F2 to toggle a book mark. To reach the
bookmark, type just F2 (Next bookmark) or Shift+F2
(Previous bookmark). To clear all bookmarks, clik
the Menu Search->Clear All bookmarks. See
screenshot.

Brace and Indent quideline Highlighting : When the
caret stay beside of one of those symbol { } [ ] ( )
, the symbol beside of caret and its symetric
opposite symbole will be highlighted, as well as the
indent guideline (if any) in order to locate the
bloc more easily. . See screenshot1, screenshot2 .

NoteTab Light is one of the better free Notepad replacements.

One more vote for metapad. One of the first things I do after a fresh
Win install is rename notepad.exe to notepad.bak and put metapad in its
place. Highly recommended.

From the page:

Number One Son
http://www.movsd.com/thegun.htm
TheGun.Exe 3.0e
21st Century Missile Ware
Download TheGun http://www.movsd.com/download/gun30e.zip

Number One Son has has been sent to the lab to develop some new technology,
solve a few problems and come back a bit more reliable on later Windows
versions. Internally it uses a high speed dispatcher for messaging, tests
for read only files, handles the XP format of file dialog boxes correctly
and changed its internal use of "MessageBox" to the extended version which
displays an icon as well as the message.

The current build size is 6656 bytes yet TheGun does not need or use any
additional Visual C++ or Visual Basic runtime libraries. It is fully coded
in Microsoft Assembler (MASM) using Windows API functions and is a true 32
bit portable executable file. It comes with an accessory settings editor
SETGUN.EXE so that some settings can be changed, it is fully drag and drop
enabled, supports wordwrap and uses the full operating system based search
capacity with case "sensitive", "insensitive" and "whole word" search.
TheGun does not use or write to the registry at all.

There is no limit set within TheGun any longer for the maximum file size,
it will be limited by the amount of available memory and the final loading
speed. It has been speed optimised in both file load and file save.

It uses the operating system capacity for printing which is in turn, farmed
out to Wordpad.Exe. It prints with the margin settings in WordPad.Exe. It
will exit by pressing the ESC key and it starts at a preset 75% of the
screen width & height. It supports right click mouse for the menu.

If you enjoy feature deficit minimum sized high speed performance with the
capacity to load and save large files (10 meg and larger) Number One Son
may be just the toy you are looking for.

If you dive into notetab, even a little bit, you can do incredible
coding by using the tabs. They are shortcuts that you can customize.
I use this for so much more than html coding.

A year or so ago I tried just about all the free Notepad
replacements. I found the best two to be Metapad and NoteTab Lite.

======================
In trying to use NoteTab Lite I find it very complicated. Now I can't find
any information on how to DELETE the scripts I was playing with last night.
Highlighting and hitting the delete key doesn't work. There is NO DELETE
selection or button on the bar and nothing about how to delete what's on
the pad in the helpfiles. How do you delete unwanted work in this program?

I made a simple one that can hold more the notepad years ago.
It's called edit98 you can find it on my freeware page.

Assuming you have fixed your problem.
Now, try out EditPad Lite.
