      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
