The Portable Freeware Collection Forums

[Mod note: the present topic was consolidated from several old posts to serve as the official forum topic for the legacy text editor SavageEd, which has a TPFC database entry at www.portablefreeware.com/?id=633; please note the developer only supports SavageEd2, a newer program whose entry is at www.portablefreeware.com/?id=2186; post subject edited, original was "SavageEd 1.3.0".]

LOL we have all been there and got the same message from others on our first posts

SavageEd v.1.4.6: https://files02.tchspt.com/storage2/temp/SavageEd.zip

EDIT: while testing juverax version, as both executables were the same, I realized that the version I posted earlier is in fact v1.4.6; I was misled by 'SavageEd_doc.txt' but after I ran it, the "About" box clearly states it.

That link didn't work in SeaMonkey for me (it did with Wget, though)...

But I found that version's page at https://www.techspot.com/downloads/4254-savageed.html.

What's New:

• replace with empty string now works

Better yet, source is included just in case some savvy assembly dev wants to fork it -- because If only SavageEd had URL auto-activation, it would be the perfect light & fast Notepad replacement.
