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 Date of Review: 2/3/96 Reviewer: Forrest Stroud

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?

It's wordpad on steroids with help on html tags.

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...
