Win32Pad is a feature filled text editor that is written with a programmer in mind. Its main purpose is to provide enough functionality that is missing from notepad without sacrificing file size and performance. It's very fast and powerful. Has a ton of features that you would expect (Filesize is NOT limited to 64k, Recent Files, Auto-indent, handles Windows and Unix files, customizable Tab Size and Font settings, and many more).

    Win32Pad's possibly most important feature is that it is portable from USB flash. Documented but only on the forum are several ways to create a zero-length win32pad.ini file as preparation (a blank slate with the right name). If the user does that before running Win32Pad, Win32Pad finds this .ini and proceeds to write the user-settings into it. One way cited is to type «echo.>Win32Pad.ini», at the command-line, which creates an almost zero-length file (4-5 bytes), which works fine.

    MetaPad has a few added features, but it does not save settings in a way which is portable on flash. One of MetaPad's «killer» features is to strip away paragraph-returns at the end of lines, or to put them there as desired (e.g. to have each line be at or under 80 characters). That feature is however also found in Ted NotePad. I use Win32Pad for everything else however because I like its smallness.

    Cordially,

    This is 1 of the premiere Notepad replacements. It's intended to be a lightning fast text viewer-editor with a few enhanced features. It is not intended to be a mini word processor. Anyone that rates Win32Pad lower than 4 has no idea about the program's purpose, and never will.

    A superb replacement for M$'s Notepad.exe. Amazingly small size. Fast and stable. Lots of features for its size. I rate it 4.899999, rounded to 5.
