Only 20 bytes? Now that's what I call a lightweight program. ;-)

Andrew Lee on 2006-05-30 22:50

Sorry! My typo. It should be 20KB.

Dariusz Stanislawek is the king of lightweight portable (encryption)freeware! although i don't use cryptnote very often, it is of the same calibre as his other creations!
check out his page on the other products. http://members.ozemail.com.au/~nulifetv/freezip/freeware/ Stanislawek is truly a programming genius!

There also appears to be a plug-in for FireFox called GhostFox that works essentially the same way. Simply Google "Ghostfox" or "Ghostfox firefox plugin" to find it.

This is one of the most useful notepad programs I have used over the years ! Besides common features found in other text editor, Xint has the column-select button right on the toolbar and the clickable Url link option ! Have you ever tried to edit a .nfo file without column-select feature ? (i.e especially one copiously decorated with ASDCII graphics ! ) . Long live Xint...

I just love this text editor to death ! It's tiny but packs a huge punch ! I agree with tommyngo : the column selected feature is the best one ! Been using it for 3 years now and still loing it !! Thank..you..

I've only used this one a little but I'm enjoying. I'm setting it up for my wife and daughter to use to practice their typing. Good little program.

Joe on 2008-06-05 18:13

I like it. In just a few months of using this, Ktouch and Klavaro I've gone from about 10 wpm (while looking back and forth from the keyboard to the monitor) to between 30 and 40 wpm without looking at the keyboard. I feel like a god.

The referred site does not mention anything about its portability. Makes me wary of unexpected surprises if put on a thumb drive. Any assurance (please!)

i found that the game seems easy but when you get far you lose ALOT of energy (health)... the game itself is highly addicting. My little bro scored 50000

Is this program stealth (no writing at all to registry) or does it write some entries to the registry? Has anybody checked it?
