TextPad is designed to provide the power and
functionality to satisfy the most demanding text
editing requirements.
It is Windows hosted, and comes in 16 and 32-bit editions.
Huge files can be
edited by either - just choose the edition that works best
with your PC. The 32-bit edition can edit
files up to the limits of virtual memory, and it will work
with Windows 95, Windows NT and Windows
3.1 with Win32s extensions.
TextPad has been implemented according to the Windows 95
user interface guidelines, so great
attention has been paid to making it easy for both beginners
and experienced users. In-context help
is available for all commands, and in-context menus pop-up
with the right mouse button. The
Windows multiple document interface allows multiple files to
be edited simultaneously, with up to 2
views on each file. Text can be dragged and dropped between
files. Latest version (3.0 and higher) includes a clip
library, WordStar emulation,
customizable keyboard and
Spanish and Italian user interfaces.
In addition to the usual cut and paste capabilities, you can
correct the most common typing errors
with commands to change case, and transpose words,
characters and lines.
Frequently used combinations of commands can be saved as
keystroke macros, and the spelling
checker has dictionaries for 10 languages.
It also has a customizable tools menu, and integral file
compare and search commands, with
hypertext jumps from the matched text to the corresponding
line in the source file (ideal for
integrating compilers).
