Thanks Aaron. :)

No problem Gary. He said 5.6 final should be out by the end of the week if all goes good, so check back.

Even if you aren't a programmer, it makes for a very nice text editor. It can open huge files and it can add color to certain file types which helps people to edit scripts and what not.

I don't use it for the same reason.

I thought Windows 7 got rid of that file size limit for Notepad.

I edit HTML and PHP codes at times, but Notepad can accomplish those tasks beautifully for me.

If I don't absolutely need a piece of software on my computer, I won't install it.

I used to download all sorts of random gadgets and utilities on my computer, but that just bloats my computer.

5.6 final is available.
