NotepadEx application represents a freeware Notepad replacement that I have written because I really hated the file size limitation of Notepad and because Notepad doesn't have a text search and replace function.

Before I decided to write NotepadEx I had searched the internet to find a Notepad replacement that would satisfy my needs, but I didn't find one. What I really wanted was a Notepad look-alike without the 32KB file size limitation and with a fast text search and replace function, and not much more. And, it should be freeware.

But all the freeware (and even shareware) programs I found were very large (and therefore loading them took too much time), mainly because they had too many extra features - like spelling checking - that I neither needed nor wanted.

Finally I decided to write my own Notepad replacement. I had a lot of experience with Visual Basic 6, but I decided to write it in Borland Delphi 5, although I didn't have much experience with it. I did this because if I would write it in Visual Basic 6 it would depend on the VB runtime DLL (which is more than 1 MB in size) and therefore it would be loading too slowly. And I also thought this would be a good way to learn Delphi. I downloaded some examples and started my first real Delphi project, called NotepadEx. I got used to Delphi very fast and in two days the first beta version was there.
