    I know this has been posted a thousand times by different people, but I didn't need one at those times hence paid no attention. I want an editor that is reasonably light weight, runs on Vista and is capable of handling Unix text files. What recommendations do y'all have?

        I'm an EmEditor[^] fan. They even have a free version that works pretty well.

              SciTE[^], beauty is it doesn't need to be installed, all config files are in the same directory.  There is even a single executable version so you only need one file.

                                      I know this has been posted a thousand times by different people, but I didn't need one at those times hence paid no attention. I want an editor that is reasonably light weight, runs on Vista and is capable of handling Unix text files. What recommendations do y'all have?

                                      Notepad++[^] is also a good alternative. Has the advantage of also being free.

                                        Notepad 2 is an excellent utility. It can handle Windows / Mac and Unix line endings.
