       Notepad is a multifunctional text editor with many
       input and editing capabilities, developed by Microsoft
       corporation.
       It combines the power and natural simplicity that is
       characteristic of Microsoft's products. Notepad is also
       ideal for preparing web pages - Microsoft Internet
       Explorer uses Notepad to view page sources. And the
       most fantastic news is that Microsoft allows you
       to use Notepad absolutely for free!

       Currently, Notepad exists in versions for Microsoft Windows
       operating systems. However, due to numerous user requests
       from around the world, Microsoft corporation has begun
       developing versions of Notepad for Unix, Macintosh,
       and OS/2 systems!
       
       Copyright Micro$oft
       
       However, not everyone is happy with Notepad's triumphant
       march across the planet. For example, Corel corporation,
       which is trying to compete with Notepad by offering its
       clunky WordPerfect program, recently filed a lawsuit
       against Microsoft. Instead of honestly competing and
       improving their product, they accused Notepad creators
       of violating antitrust laws. They claim that Notepad
       is so integrated into the Windows system that it cannot
       be uninstalled without affecting the overall functionality
       of the system. Additionally, the plaintiff demands the
       removal of Notepad from the MS Windows package,
       as it allegedly deprives users of the choice between
       products from other companies. Of course, all of this
       is blatant lies and slander!

       Shortly before the official release of Windows 98,
       Microsoft corporation held a grand presentation of the
       new version of Notepad. The innovations in Notepad 98
       are truly revolutionary:
       - More convenient file handling
       - The new default file is now called "Untitled" instead
       of "Unnamed".
       - Customizable font settings
       - Finally! Now you can change the default font that
       Notepad uses to display text.
       - Improved help system
       - Notepad's help system is now in the new popular HTML-Help
       format. It has become even easier to answer the numerous
       questions that users may have while working with Notepad.

       As mentioned before, Notepad is a very powerful editor
       with many amazing features that are not found in
       any other software from other companies! See for yourself:
       - Can handle any file!
       - The file size limit is 64(!) kilobytes(!!!). In modern
       computer systems, files of larger size are almost
       non-existent.
       - Implements Cooperative Multitasking
       - The number of simultaneously open files is 1 (one).
       Do not get distracted by minor details to the detriment
       of the main task!
       - Super user-friendly interface
       - No toolbars or "hotkeys" for common commands like
       "File-Open" and "File-Save". The status bar - such luxury
       is also not provided. Everything is for the user's benefit!
       - Comfortable text editing
       - Insert the current date with a single button click.
       However, the less needed "Replace" function is not
       included.
       - Fast file opening
       - Using the "Open" window, you can open a file for editing
       in just 4 to 50 mouse clicks. There is no list of recently
       opened files.
       - Notepad - the perfect program!
       - There is almost no possibility to customize the user
       interface.
