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]
