Metapad is a freeware text editor for Microsoft Windows 9x/NT/XP, developed by Alexander Davidson since 1999.[1]
Some of its key features include:[2]
- No file size limit under Windows 9x
- UNIX text file support
- Commit word wrap
- Tab and newline search
- Hyperlinking support
- Auto-indent mode
- Block indent and unindent
- Language plugin support (though English is British-only)
- Can replace Windows Notepad
Metapad was programmed in pure ANSI C with the Win32 API. The aim of Metapad is to provide a near drop-in replacement of Notepad in Windows. There are two versions of Metapad: a full and LE (light edition) version. The full version uses the RichEdit control which boasts more features, while the LE version uses the faster Edit control.[3]
