Stuart,

I use several of those you mentioned. One I especially love is NotePad++.
Since I code in several languages, I really like its ability to know how to
format my text as soon as I name the file (*.c, *.cpp, *.bas, etc.). Nice!
Everything has proved enormously useful, too. I haven't tried TerarCopy or
VideoLan yet. But now I'm motivated.
