[WEB4LIB] Looking for a simple text-based freeware Windows HTML Editor

[Stewart Fritz]

I'm a Mac guy at home but I have to use Win2K at work. A programmer 
friend of mine turned me on to UltraEdit, and I've found it to be the 
darn near closest thing to BBEdit on the PC:

http://www.ultraedit.com/

I'm pretty sure it has all, or almost all of the features you want. 
It's a clean, uncluttered interface although NOTHING is as nice as 
BBEdit. :) It has built-in coloring and FTP support, and it has really 
powerful search and replace features that are nearly as easy to use as 
BBEdit's.
