EditPad is a Notepad replacement text editor for Windows, with multi-Tabs, regular expression search and replace, syntax highlighting, macros, and multi-lingual Unicode support. [6]

EditPad is a text editor for Windows, created in 1996, by Jan Goyvaerts, then a civil engineering student at the Vrije Universiteit Brussel, as Postcardware, requesting a postcard as payment. [3] [10] [11] With expanded functionality over Windows Notepad.exe, it is also a drop-in replacement, such that it can be renamed "Notepad.exe" and replaced in all locations that Windows Notepad.exe is found. [12] [13]
Five products have been called EditPad, the original, retronymed Classic, 16-bit , Linux, Lite, and Pro. Maintenance of Classic, 16-bit , and Linux was discontinued. [14] [15] Lite, and Pro continue to be developed. Classic, Linux, Lite, and Pro, all are available, in many versions, from either Jan Goyvaerts' websites or third-party download sites. Wine (software) enables Classic, Lite, and Pro use on Unix-like operating systems.
There are other text editors with some similar functionalities, including free software, freeware, and shareware such as AkelPad, Metapad, Notepad2, Notepad++, Notetab, and TED Notepad.
Classic is postcardware, (the author would like users to send him a postcard or a used phone card with e-mail address.) [66] [75]
EditPad 1.4.0 was released 16 January 1997; EditPad 2.3.0 was released 23 March 1997; EditPad 3.4.1 was released 2 January 1999. [73] [74]
"The first 16-bit version was EditPad 16-bit 3.4.2, which was based on the source code of EditPad 3.4.0, heavily modified to make it work under Windows 3.1x. This version has been superseded by EditPad 16-bit 3.4.3, as the other version contained a few serious bugs. I am not planning to actively develop the 16-bit version, so there will not be any future 16-bit versions."—Jan Goyvaerts [66]
EditPad Linux was first released in 2003,[ citation needed ] using Borland Kylix, a Linux software development environment which ran under Microsoft Windows, and the last EditPad Linux (5.4.6) was in March 2006, after Borland Kylix was discontinued. [87] [88] [89] [90]
Edit Pad Lite is the freeware version (free for personal use). [75] [91] [92] [93] Third-party downloads have resulted in caching of out-dated versions. [94] [95] [96] [97] [98] [99] [100] [101] [102] [103] [104] [105] [106] [107] [108] [109] [110]
Demo Setup is available at Just Great Software Co. Ltd. and at third-party download sites. [111] [112] [113] [114]
EditPad has been used for graduate thesis software development, [115] [116] [117] journalism, [118] [119] penetration testing, [120] [121] [122] [123] computer chess, [124] extending [125] and describing [126] [127] [128] [129] game software, Text Encoding Initiative, [130] [131] Mathematics publication (TeX, LaTeX), [132] [133] [134] [135] linguistics, [136] [137] medieval Arabic text analysis, [138] data formatting, [139] [140] [141] and "government bureaucracy" [142]

EditPad online presence probably began on Goyvaerts' site at ping.be [143] [144] or tornado.be, [145] with hosting at xoom.com, relocated to JGsoft [146] [147] then just-great-software.com [148] [149] [150]

For most mathematical work, text editors are actually preferable to word-processors, because we can describe notation more precisely than we can actually draw it.
We recommend using the text editor EditPad Pro (http://www.editpadpro.com/, only available for Windows) for this, since it can handle large .txt documents better than other text editors...Jedli is a basic toolkit for textual analysis, but it represents a first step in the development of more complex tools for more advanced analyses of medieval Arabic texts.
Selected sequences were manually converted to DCSE format in EditPad Lite (Goyvaerts 2008) and secondary structure viewed in RnaViz (De Rijk & De Wachter 1997). In all cases, those positions that could not be unambiguously aligned were excluded from the analysis. Sequences will be deposited in GenBank (http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/genbank/) in due course.
