Looks like it is still broken in 5.0: - can't open via file dialog - appears with question marks in explorer pane and disappears with single click For me a program that claims "16-bit Unicode, UTF-8 and 8-bit text files with single and double byte characters can be edited", but can't open the files ...

a mailing list or feed announcing the new version would be great, once it's out. i want to check it out as soon as possible. i wonder if helios can manage to keep the new textpad lean enough for it to load up in <.5 seconds, considering all the feature requests... i just hope that, if it comes ...
