And #81 yes I was confusing your Unattributed block quotes in #47. If they were atrributed to a specific poster back then, I would have sought out that post and adressed that poster directly.

And yes you are quite right the 2G-1 number is indeed a signed 32 bit Integer… I dd not even consider a programmer would waste a binary bit on a sign bit when indexing lines! He could have gone for 4Gig lines by just opting for an unsigned 32bit Integer. But in todays age he really needs a modern 64bit long to handle all reasonable and unreasonable hex line length settings, some may like to use 32bit line lengths(4 bytes), users chosen display format should not have to be butchered due to a 32bit line count variable restriction, least not in a comercial product.

Prelimery test run shows the above offered new version 3.7.3 build 227 to be much improved over the 3.3.2 one offered in the original giveaway.
The original registration details do function on this release if you happenedto have saved the details from the original activation.

It does edit text now and hitting enter does move cursor down to the next line, and backspace delete… does, as do normal Del(ete) keys in their respective directions.

To edit my little 250G laptop drive in Vista I have to run AptEdit as an Adminstrator, this could be avoided by conditionally requesting admin rights using UAC before attempting to sector level access the drive when in vista.

It is still baulking at the idea of more than 2G 16 byte lines in the hex format drive editor and so increases the line length to a really ugly length so it can use less than 2Gig lines in all. No chance of adjusting the number of lines to 48 or 64 bit width (unsigned long)? I know HxD hex/drive editor seems to have no troubles there at all.

So far no show stopper yet.

It did suggest by the wording after entering the registration data that it would exit and reload by itself, but it only exits. One has to reload it manually, which is no hardship, just seemed like it was intended to do it itself by the wording… If the wording is incorrect, maybe a cosmetic tweak is in order there?

It is a definite improvement and as of this 3.7.3 build 227 it ceases being unfit for purpose IMHO.

Then I’m sorry, this isn’t “phoning home”. It’s checking what the latest version is. Note that it is a GET operation (as opposed to POST) and there is no data attached to the URL.
No information about you (not even “demographic information”) is sent there.

My current favorite (I tried about 35 before settling on this one) is Programmer’s Notepad (http://www.pnotepad.org). I’ve never heard of anyone else that uses it but it’s a great open-source programming and text editor. It has a good set of features – every other program I tried lacked at least 1 major feature. I needed the ability to keep track of and display project files by directory, to see a tag list of functions, collapse blocks, search/replace with regular expressions, and see quick output in the editor window. I also wanted a good and modern interface – Programmer’s Notepad does all of these really well, is relatively easy to customize, loads quickly, and still has plenty more features.

Some others that came close to satisfying my requirements were ActiveState Komodo/Komodo Edit, PSPad, Notepad++, and Crimson Edit.
