SuperPad -- SuperPad is an improved version of the familiar
Windows Notepad client. SuperPad includes many features lacking
in Notepad; most importantly, it has the ability to edit documents
larger than 32 Kb. Additional features include word wrap,
overstrike/insert mode, proportional and fixed font selection, search
and replace, and command line parameters. There is no on-line help
documentation, but the interface is quite intuitive and very similar
to Notepad's. One negative aspect about SuperPad is the fact that
the current release lacks printing capabilities. While not a true
HTML editor, SuperPad allows experienced web designers to
quickly and efficiently maintain web pages. Novice users and
first-time web designers will likely need a more HTML-specific
editor, like HTML Writer, WebEdit, or WebWizard. SuperPad is
free and will work with all versions of Windows, including
Windows 95. When it comes to the continual maintenance required
with web pages, this is a solid candidate for the task.
Pros: Improves on Windows' Notepad client, allows for efficient
maintenance of web pages
Cons: Lacks HTML tagging capabilities, not for novice web page
designers
New: Printing capabilities, several bug fixes
Version Reviewed: 1.4

It sounds very much like WordPad which is what I use to compose most of what I do and to save things such as topics and conferences on Spring. Is it very similar - rather, how does it differ?

Ah...a cross between wordPad and Word97 (which I find quite adequate for HTML) though I am currently using the client Netscape 4.7 composer for the UHHilo newsletter. Not sure I need another program unless the price is right...
