- I know exactly what you mean.
-
- Several years ago I found a great little text editor, called Qed. It was
- cripleware. The "free" version was limited to files smaller than 10K. At
- the time, I was still in school and quite poor. I used Qed on most files
- and used other editors for larger files. Annoying, but it worked.
-
- Later, when I finances allowed it, I decided to make good on the shareware
- principle. But my check cam back "adressee unknown". I have tried
- several times to determine a current address, but to no avail.
-
- I still use Qed. Even with the 10k limitation, it suites my needs beter
- than anything else I have found.
