JS,

Was this program named for the original TED (Text EDitor) from long ago?

I like it. It's like MetaPad on steroids. In fact, the config dialog looks a
_lot_ like MetaPad's.

Unfortunately, it does not handle URL and E-Mail links. That's a real
inconvenience in today's web-oriented world.

In addition to hot links, I would like to see a hard-coded keyboard shortcut
menu item in the help dialog. That way, the help file would not be needed.

Bob

Remove "kins" from address to reply.

Nor does it have a spell check. IMHO, a notepad replacement should have
tabs, accept files of unlimited length and a spellchecker. For me, Word
Tabs v 3.30 does all that and it is also free.

TED Notepad looks like it is better suited for programmers...

Or for those of us who already have a spellchecker and do not need
yet another one (although our messages here may convince you another
spellchecker is exacly what we need

The update link on

http://www.pricelessware.org/2002/pricelesswaretext.htm

doesn't appear to work. Has anyone got a working link please ?

Regards, John.

I have at least two files on disk named ted.exe. One is Ted Notepad.
The other is Ted Text Editor, from Memecode. There was some similar
mention on exe filenames about Kankowski Edit, whose exe name is
kedit.exe. Recently again: I'd confused a freeware and a payware,
having paid attention only to codepad.exe, without looking for the
product name. Fortunately, "name collision" is only an issue that
concerns formal product name. (As to filenames, imagine counting all
those named notpad.exe that have passed through your drives.)

But back to subject: I like Ted Notepad. It's impressively small and
light. It has a fun set of text processing tools, nicely organized.
It was fairly recently that I the good fortune to find it. And I've
not yet tried this new release. So headed there now for a download....

Yeah, one day I should look over the options, and see if I'm up to trying
to get in the spellcheck habit. It's part to do with my limited resources
allowance: I don't like to run anything extra when it can be avoided.
And my newsreader spellchecker does more harm than good. For instance,
its suggestions. When I'm hurried, or bleary-eyed, and click those dismally
unrelated offerings it gives me, then my text becomes significantly more
incoherent than it did with the typos.

I know what you mean, but sure would be lost without one my self.
Whish you could all read/write my native tongue, then I would not need
one either (well most to the time). One thing is knowing if got the
word right, another if I got the right word. When in doubt I tend to
trust the machine, or when in hurry, or both. And sometimes I just
don't notice that my originally typed (but misspelled) word went out -
and in came the "appropriate" replacement. Can be funny some times.

Btw, spelling is serious business, or can be, if communication is.
Sometimes just funny, other times worrying. To see what I mean, jump
over to The Risk Digest archive at
<http://catless.ncl.ac.uk/Risks/search.html> and enter "spelling" as
your search word there, read some...

All the best,
Bjorn Simonsen

no, it was not, as i have not known the old TED before.. it has
somespecial
meaning, but... i do not want to say right now...
well, it is a lot like metapad le, but not as a copy of it at all. i
just
was not completely settled for metapad, and i missed some things, like
sort, unique lines and grep, so i made my own one...
ted was not mean to be the best looking editor... it's suited for
programers
as it loads quickly, takes minimal resources and does everything, what
plain
text mostly requires... therefore no spellchecker, no tabs, no syntax
h...

accept files of unlimited length

it does (except of win95), doesn't it?

TED Notepad looks like it is better suited for programmers...

exactly... ...jsimlo
