Thanks fireberd :)
I finally got my head around "NT" by reading the wiki page.When I googled Windows NT based system originally, all I found was technical jargon that was expressed for the already converted.
The wiki page (which is extremely verbose) suggested by Ranger4 ... clarified "NT"
Thank you for the additional history, adds to the wiki info.
NT = Microsoft Windows (in today's usage)
The contemporary use of the expression "NT" can be very confusing for newbies
I assumed it was exclusively for "networks" ... but today it is is used in a generic sense.
Many text editors are suitable for non-Windows operating systems as well as Windows. (as I understand it)
The text-editor (Notepad2) I am evaluating at the moment is reviewed as...
Cons:
only suitable for "Windows NT based system"
... which for newbies can be a scare-off.
Translation:= can only be used with MS Windows operating systemI started (briefly) in punch cards. I lasted about 6 weeks (it was so boring sorting dropped cards into right-side-up) and pushing boxes of cards across town to the process centre was not my idea of being CEO by 23 years of age. Fresh out of university (Engineering)
And loosing a few cards along the way when a box burst ... what was a few bits of cardboard!
Later in my very early years I was detailing Microsoft's first 2 books to academic establishments. It was presumed that "this Microsoft stuff" would die a quick death. It was tough going selling it not helped by my youthful ignorance.
"Notepad2" works perfectly well on my Windows 7 laptop.
(Next to test is TED Notepad and finally try and get my head around the mammoth settings of Notepad++ )
Its all an interesting exercise comparing text editors, I am up to 7 evaluations so far)
