With our hero Billy gates divorced now, maybe we can persuade him to return to MS and fix our broken Windows. They've become a bit drafty over the years.

he's too busy trying to get us to eat bugs.

On 23 Aug 2022, T.J. Mcmillen said the following...

I discovered that The Semware Editor, successor to QEdit, is now freeware for Windows and Linux. It's a really powerful text-based editor. It's available at semware.com.

That's cool, but I'm more of a purist. I still use DOS EDIT.COM ... the ver from Win95 works great still. Just can't print, but for that, there's notepad. :)

Unfortunately, EDIT.COM does not work with 64-bit versions of Windows :)

Working on *my* 64-bit Windows 10 system, thanks for NTVDMx64.

kit editor is great.

I'm more of a Notepad++ user myself, for the last few years anyway.

well i mean for a console app editor. For a GUI editor in windows I've used editpad pro for many years. Bryan Turner turned me onto it.
It's probably very comparable to Notepad++.

Notepad++ is free and open source, so that appears to be a big difference. I actually don't use text mode editors in Windows, but I spend a lot of time in vim on Linux. When I am using a GUI on Linux (which isn't often), then it's usually Geany as my editor of choice these days.

yeah but i really like editpad. it's great. i've used notepad++ a bit but i really like editpad. it has a free version that most people would be happy with. I don't see something as being open sourced as a draw.

in vim on Linux. When I am using a GUI on Linux (which isn't often), then it's usually Geany as my editor of choice these days.
