I probably managed to make a very good choice, even if I do not know what I may have missed in some of the others. The somewhat involved configuration options require at least medium computer literary, but the options are very useful. The configuration option "Send to menu" is convenient, since by invoking it one does not have to edit all one's file associations. After installing, I noticed some further nice facets. I chose EditPad Lite to try since it has file tabs and most importantly it supports a lot of different text encodings which is crucial for a European and a user who also has much old DOS text files occasionally to deal with. It took some SnapFiles reading and even Googling to decide which one to try out. The problem with text editors is that there are so many to choose from. I wanted something in freeware between my regular, programmable shareware The SemWare Editor and Windows' own Notepad. And it should be more than enough for you too. Until then though, EditPad is the only text editor for me. (And by 'create''edit''handle' RTF files, obviously I mean bold/italic/underline/strikethrough font types, left/centre/right/fully justified pages, with indenting and image embedding - like all the other features of Wordpad I wish it could also replace). Oh, if only they read the reviews on SnapFiles. Oh, how I wish the dev(s) had thought to make it create/edit RTF files before it was too late. Then I'll drop it faster than an ugly baby and pretend I never loved it really, because I'm fickle, but secretly I'll feel guilty and think "Oh, if only EditPad had been able to handle RTF files too, I'd never have turned away from it. That's what I'm doing until I finally find a portable, tabbed editor with all the strengths of EditPad that also edits RTF files. This works just fine when editing files on your Windows PC or on a Windows server. It moves the original file into its backup location, and then writes the file you’re saving as a new file. By default, EditPad uses a quick method to make backups. Don't waste your time, stick with EditPad. The File History lets you easily compare, delete and revert to backup copies. The person who wrote it tells lies (and makes the baby Jesus cry). You will see another review here, suggesting that another app (Metapad) does edit RTF files. The only thing that prevents me from rating it 5 stars for features is that it doesn't handle RTF (Rich Text Format) files.
