HTML Notepad -- HTML Notepad is Windows Notepad on an HTML steroid boost. This tiny (80 Kb) package packs a punch and does so at a relatively cheap price ($30). While lacking some of the big time features like a spelling checker, wizards, integrated web browsing, and similar, HTML Notepad does make up for the missing features with a very efficient client. One of its best features is providing quick and easy color support for backgrounds and fonts. No longer do you need to worry about which hexadecimal number corresponds to the color red and other typical aggravations. HTML Notepad also gives you options for setting up templates and saving files with or without the HTML tags. An external browser can be used to view your newly created work. Tons of tags are supported including many Netscapisms, but unfortunately, only files under 32 Kb can be edited. Overall, Notepad is a solid little client that gets the job done rapidly and smoothly. Despite a few missing features, a file size ceiling, and a moderate $30 price tag, HTML Notepad will satisfy many novice and experienced web users alike Pros: Quick and efficient HTML editing, small package, tons of tags, cool features Cons: Lacks some critical features, 32 Kb file limit, price relative to other HTML editors New: This is the initial review of HTML Notepad Version Reviewed: 1.19 Date of Review: 10/25/95 Reviewer: Forrest Stroud

I have used HTML notpad on both Win3.1 and win95. With both versions I have a frustrating problem with the FIND command not working, or working only once, or refusing to find anything below the displayed screen. Am I alone? Otherwise seems like a nice adjunct editor. A bit pricey for a simple editor, though.

I don't have this program loaded up, but I'll test this when I get a chance. The last time I had it loaded, it seemed like a pretty decent program. What version are you using?
