KeyNote |
Tabbed, explorer-like (tree-type) organized notebook.
Too many
features to be numbered. Open source code. Simply excellent. "Keynote is not a 'normal' editor for text or rich text format files. KeyNote is based around the concept of having many notes stored in a single file on disk. This means that you can organize information in a more orderly way, and make sit easier to kep related information in one place, instead of having it scattered over many files in different places. A KeyNote file is a collection of notes in RTF format. One Keynote file may include the contents of many single text or rtf files." http://www.lodz.pdi.net/~eristic/free/index.html

Another tiny & mighty piece. "JLC SplitIt 95 is a utility that
can split any file into pieces [of any size] for easy distribution. [...] After you split the file, a joining
batch file is created for recombining the pieces. The join file is a batch file and will work on early
versions of DOS as well as Windows 95, 98 and NT. It also doesn't need to have JLC SplitIt 95
installed since it uses DOS commands to combine the pieces." It's only about 100 KB.

TheGun |
An excellent replacement for Notepad (it has only 6 KB!) which opens unlimited file sizes. No more
vapid WordPad's courteousness like: "This file is too large. Would you like... blablabla (thud)". Take TheGun, G[rown] U[p] N[otepad], and live in peace (just delete Notepad.exe from Windows folder, than rename Thegun.exe in Notepad.exe and put it there; then just double click on the largest text file you can provide and enjoy in the beauty). http://www.pbq.com.au/home/hutch/ |
