TextPad
open-in-new
<p>TextPad is a <a href="/facts/Text_editor/jPCgtbvN">text editor</a> for <a href="/facts/Microsoft_Windows/bwhAhuSL">Microsoft Windows</a> developed by Helios Software Solutions. It is currently in its ninth major version. TextPad was initially released in 1992 as <a href="/facts/Shareware/TAhIvJXt">shareware</a>, with users requested to pay a registration fee to support future development. As of 1996 the company was an associate member of the <a href="/facts/Association_of_Shareware_Professionals/9rhg50mT">Association of Shareware Professionals</a>. By 1998 the company was pointing out that the editor was "shareware (try before you buy)" and payment was necessary to continue to use it. </p>
