I need an editor that will tell me the line, and column number of my
present cursor postion. For example a small display in the lower
right-hand corner that reads 17,123.

I know this exists in the linux version of gvim, but I don't see it in
the windows version.

I'm not a programmer or developer but I have been using PSPad
(www.pspad.com) for a while now. This has the feature that you talk about
but I also like the "Text Diff with This File" facility whereby you can
compare the contents of the currently viewed file with another file.

Does EditPad Lite offer this facility or can anyone suggest an alternative
to PSPad please? Just thinking what's the point is using PSPad when I never
use many of the features anyway!

Thanks.

Vim does diff and columns (lower right corner ver 7 on XP anyway)

http://www.vim.org/

It probably has as many or more features but the interface may be more to
your taste.

TextPad will do this just fine.
