It's not that UltraEdit doesn't give me everything I want; I just started a job where I will work following graduation in May. If I am not able to get UltraEdit on my computer there (hypothetically speaking), I would like to find something similar so I was curious what everyone else uses. I guess I am just trying to cover all bases. :) [EDIT] Do you have any suggestions?? [/EDIT] [EDIT AGAIN] Maybe an interesting WTL article??? - What do you think? :-D [/EDIT AGAIN] - Nick Parker

TextPad[^] for sure. It loads quickly, has all the options I need and a whole lot more. Also there is seems to be sytaxx definition for every single file type on the planet available for easy download. Joel Holdsworth

I'll second TextPad for the same reasons - at least, once you switch the keyboard shortcuts to Windows/Office instead of the strange scheme it has by default. -- Ian Darling "The different versions of the UN*X brand operating system are numbered in a logical sequence: 5, 6, 7, 2, 2.9, 3, 4.0, III, 4.1, V, 4.2, V.2, and 4.3" - Alan Filipski
