Hi. This is the programmer for Notepad 2008. Thanks for reviewing my app.
A new version, Version 2.0, is coming out soon, and it is being re-written in VB6, to keep the runtime requirements down.
I know that not everyone likes the Ribbon UI, but as I said before, this was just a simple app just for me, then it became… more.
Anyway, go to http://solo-dev.deviantart.com for more updates and info on Notepad 2008.
I think is great. Added functionality not always conflicts with simplicity.
Thanks,
