@Midas, re: viewers for ANSI art (code page 437, extended ASCII)
Just thought I'd mention that some of these viewers contain translation fonts. A while back I extracted an ANSI/NFO viewer (don't recall which one... maybe getDiz), located the fonts and placed them in my system/fonts directory. This makes any editor ANSI-capable because the work is being done by an external font.
Thought I'd mention it in case your main editor supports font-toggling (toolbar button allowing a quick switch between two system fonts, example: metapad) in order to avoid switching editors just to view some of the text 'graphics'.

My current preferred notepad replacement, after swapping the hideous default icon with the the vanilla one from notepad (TY, ResHack). Shame it doesn't do text case conversions, then it would be perfect -- as it is, I use a well known commercial editor for heavy duty text editing and nfoPad (totally portable from v1.56, see post @ http://www.portablefreeware.com/forums/viewtopic.php?f=4&t=5409) for nfo file viewing. For the rest, Win32Pad is lightning fast and perfectly fit for the common text checking/light editing tasks. I don't hesitate to recommend it!

@donald: You can place RICHEDIT.DLL in the same folder as the EXE.

could someone tell me if I need to register the RICHED20.DLL
Or if it is enough to place it in the folder with the exe
also is it already installed on most PCs?
I read the following quote to say that Win32Pad requires the RichEdit.dll on all systems, but the other two only on Pre-XP systems

One of the handiest features of Editpad is the slideout menu that appears when you mouse over the icon in the system try. Here you can find a list of your most recent documents. You can just click on the document without having to open the programme and search for it. The icon appears in the tray after you have closed the programme, for quick re-open.

@dot My notepad.exe replacement of choice has been Metapad. It has clickable and working URL highlighting. You can even highlight and drag-drop into your browser pane!
I highly reccomend it.

To be honest, I find that those fine editors and notepads presented here lately, with all the nice features each of them got, but that don't allow clickable (and working) URLs and email addresses, are outdated in the age of the Internet.

A fine little program. Does what it says. Use it all the time for quick notes.
@Pax: great tip. Still, I'll be keeping NFOPad (http://www.portablefreeware.com/?id=2164) 'cause it's convenient and I sometimes make adjustments to viewed files...
