User:Oko5ekmi5/EditPad 2

EditPad is a text editor for Windows, created in 1996, by Jan Goyvaerts, then a civil engineering student at the Vrije Universiteit Brussel, as Postcardware, requesting a postcard as payment. EditPad 1.4.0 was released 16 January 1997; EditPad 2.3.0 was released 23 March 1997; EditPad 3.4.1 was released 2 January 1999. With expanded functionality over Windows Notepad.exe, it is also a drop-in replacement, such that it can be renamed "Notepad.exe" and replaced in all locations that Windows Notepad.exe is found.

EditPad
Five products have been called EditPad, the original, retronymed Classic, 16-bit, Linux, Lite, and Pro. Maintenance of Classic, 16-bit, and Linux was discontinued. Lite, and Pro continue to be developed. Classic, Linux, Lite, and Pro, all are available, in many versions, from either Jan Goyvaerts' websites or third-party download sites. Wine (software) enables Classic, Lite, and Pro use on on Unix-like operating systems.

Since EditPad is disk-based, files are not loaded in RAM, an unlimited number of files of any (large) size may be edited.

EditPad 16-bit
"'The first 16-bit version was EditPad 16-bit 3.4.2, which was based on the source code of EditPad 3.4.0, heavily modified to make it work under Windows 3.1x. This version has been superseded by EditPad 16-bit 3.4.3, as the other version contained a few serious bugs. I am not planning to actively develop the 16-bit version, so there will not be any future 16-bit versions.'—Jan Goyvaerts"
