Is there a Mac version of WordPad?
I'm looking for a shareware text editor for Mac. Is there such a thing?

2. TextEdit, which is included with OSX, is pretty good
It can do paragraph styles, open word, html and rtf documents, save as rtf, txt, etc... I use it all the time instead of more bloated word processors.

For voluminous programmer-type text editing, I usually use BBEdit, but it's not shareware.

3. TextWrangler is free. it's a 'lite' version of BBEdit as mentioned above.

Lot's of features I've never used.

Plenty for the non-professional.

*edit: it does require 10.3 for version 2.1.3 and 10.4 for the latest..*

4. Tex-Edit is very good. It is shareware, but it is not crippled, and
is not nagware.

I've been using it for a long, long time.


Yes, I paid for it.
