            EditPad. It's packed with features, but is still small and runs fast.

              EmEditor: It's fast, customizable and without the bloat. UltraEdit would be my second choice, also a excellent editor

                  Crimson Editor[^] - loads fast, recognises UNIX file formats automatically, detects and highlights languages automatically and hasn't crashed on me yet. This padding means I have done the review as required. Elaine (pedantic fluffy tigress)

                      I will second Photonman007’s recommendation of Programmers Notepad, for the same reasons. Plus tabbed documents, fast and supports changing of line ending for either Windows or *Nix.


                      I'd love to help, but unfortunatley I have prior commitments monitoring the length of my grass. :Andrew Bleakley:
