    I think I've got an even older copy (?) from when it was still called WinCake (I think it was anyway, probably mistaken), but can't see what version it is because I havn't got my floppy reader available for the laptop.

        One I wrote myself back in 96 using Borland's Turbo C++ v2.0. It is not used a whole lot so I have not bothered to update it. It was written for Windows 3.1 so I had to write my own date edit and spin controls.

                Rock when I can't find a Hammer. Hamme when I can't find my Sword Sword when I can't find my Bow Bow when I can't find my gun. (And this is true. Deer hit me the other day and I didn't have my gun in my trunk so I lookd for my hunting bow, that wasn't there, and my sword/boui knife wasn't in my car either... so I took my hammer out, but the handle was broken so I used a rock to kill the deer so it wouldn't suffer... pretty funny when you think of it haha). oh.. For computers? notepad.

                      Oops, forgot the free one doesn't do replace. Not sure about the pro version though. I use RelaceEm[^] for replace.

                                    I like EDTs keystoke journaling (easy to recover edits in case of a system crash) and it has a very good MACRO capability. I implemented a version of TECO that ran on a Motorola 6809 (Smoke Signal Broadcasting - updated version of this[^]) system back in the 1970s. Application took 12Kb which left about 20Kb for text. I also wrote a version of RUNOFF (grandfather of Word Processors) for the unit. Ah, the good old days when an extra BYTE was worth its weight in gold... Steve
