More about Subpad

Since we added this software to our catalog in 2004, it has already reached 1,979 downloads, and last week it gained 2 installations.

Subpad is a not that heavy program that doesn’t need as much space than many software in the section Software utilities.

It’s available for users with the operating system Windows 98 and prior versions, and you can download it in English. The current version of the software is 1.8 and the latest update happened on 1/26/2006.

Subpad is a lightweight notepad clone with all of the features of Windows notepad, with just a few extras added. The main purpose was to make something close to notepad.exe, but with faster find/replace, MRU documents, and syntax highlighting. Subpad’s find/replace routine is perhaps one of the fastest out there.

Other minor convenient features that have been added, without adding too much bloat are: close on ESC key, a roll-up caption bar (like with KDE applicaions in Linux), toggle off/on URL highlighting, column selection mode and stay on top. What’s not here is unecessary bloat, toolbars, etc. The file is distributed in a simple zip — so you can run it on a USB easily! To uninstall, just delete it.
