   Here's a cleaner TextPad screenshot. Ignore the idiotic text and size.
   
   It's great to have these bugs worked out so quickly. TextPad installed and worked fine for me using Vista x64. If Helios has finally committed to developing and maintaining TextPad, then I won't be surprised if it makes a huge return. My 4.x license lasted almost eight years! The great thing about this version is that it handles large files almost as well as UltraEdit, which is fantastic.
   
   TextPad is well worth the $32, and if you have a 4.x license, it's a free upgrade. justme123 — you're right, UltraEdit's Lifetime license has gone up from twice the purchase amount to 2.5 times, but if you're going to spend your day inside a text editor as I do, it's worth it. (Of course, I bought UltraEdit's Lifetime license back when it was real cheap, over five versions ago.) But for most people's uses, and especially writers, TextPad is back and simply fantastic.

   Sure, zridling, UltraEdit has a "lifetime license" available, but it's not the default. To get one copy of the UltraEdit-only lifetime-upgrade license, it will cost you $125.

   Wow, this announcement made me spew my rot-gut whiskey all over my monitor! And here I thought TextPad died quietly back in 1999. This used to be my favorite text editor, but UltraEdit 13 is light years ahead of it, can handle any file size, and has a lifetime license. And then there's the whole PSPad world that's been blazing a trail around here for years, too. Love the UI updates on this TextPad, too. Great job, just too little too late.

   The best thing about TextPad 4 is that it works on "486 computers" with "Windows 95" wich I used one for 2 muts ago wen I bot a new coputer.
   It gets 4 uot of 5 becouse it does not have so many functions. I made my home page with TextPad The home page www.seekload.co.nr but to be able to do it i had to make my own textpad by puting in my own funktions.
   In the future I will upgrade SeekLoad with TextPad upgrade HTML funktions that I made.
   The upgrade is not made by TextPad and you will NOT find it on the TextPad page.
   If you whant to have the upgrade plese mail me thro SeekLoad mail function.
   Just go on my page www.seekload.co.nr and click on "Contact me" and then choose "Simple Mail" and mail me a reqest.
   IMPORTANT: Give me your Corect E-mail address so I can Mail you the Upgrades.
   
   The Upgrades that I made for TextPad are Free.

   It is great editor, that also includes function for sorting and diffing.
   
   But a prefer Scite/Scintella since is freeware - is also a very great editor.
