For those unfamiliar with this Editor

"You can open as many files in EditPad at a time as you want. You change
between the open files by clicking on their tabs. No hassle with heaps of
overlapping windows.
Editpad does not impose a limit on the size of files
you can open and edit with it.
Also, the maximum length of a single line
is not limited. (Most other editors cannot handle lines longer than, say,
a thousand characters, even if they do claim to support files of unlimited
size.)
You will enjoy EditPad's unlimited undo and redo. You can even undo
changes after saving them, as long as you did not close the file.
If you run EditPad again when there is already an instance running, the file(s)
you wish to edit will be opened by the existing EditPad window. This means
there will be at most one EditPad window open, which will save you from a
lot of task switching. Of course, if you do need more instances, simply
pick View|New editor from the menu.
Block functions: save parts of your
text to disk and insert a file in the current text.
You can specify many
print settings: font, margins, headers/footers, etc. and immediately see
the effects in the print preview. You have the option to keep the EditPad
window on top of all other windows. When you close an unsaved file,
EditPad will either warn you, automatically save the file as you prefer.
Reopen menu that lists the last 16 files opened. EditPad puts an icon in
the system tray that remains visible, even if EditPad is closed. This way
you have easy and fast access to EditPad, without the need to keep it
running all the time. If you do not like this, you can, of course, disable
this feature and make EditPad behave like a normal Windows application.
EditPad fully supports double byte character systems (DBCS) so you can
edit texts written in Far East languages, such as Chinese, Japanese or
Korean, as easily as those written in European languages. The only
requirement is that your Windows version must support DBCS as well. All
editions of Windows 2000 and XP support all these languages. You only need
to install the appropriate language packs through the regional settings in
the control panel. Under Windows 95, 98, ME and NT4, your copy of Windows
must be in the same Far East language as the one you want to write in.
Many settings such as word wrap, line numbering and auto indent can be
made for each file type individually. You could activate word wrap but not
auto indent when editing a plain text file, and just the other way around
when editing source code. You can also define your own file types which
will be used to build the filters for open and save dialog boxes. EditPad
reads and writes UNIX (LF only) and Mac (CR only) text files (in addition
to DOS/Win CR+LF files, of course). ROT-13 standard used on the Usenet for
making (possibly) offensive texts illegible. Uppercase, lowercase, invert
case and initial caps conversion ANSI <=> OEM (DOS ASCII) conversion
allowing you to continue using old files created under DOS. ANSI <=>
Unicode conversion (UCS-2 and UTF-8) Easy and working installation and
uninstallation, delivered with DeployMaster. Free for non-commercial use."
