Textpad is certianly worth the effort of downloading and taking the time to learn some of the many things it can do. I certianly like it for ascii art,and as an IDE for some compilers, but it has many other good uses too.Its just great.If you work with textfiles of anykind,like ascii art,or sourcecode of anykind,get it and give it a try.
