=<> GreenPad ver 1.21 =<> RamonUnch builds 2023/12/18

<<What's This?>>

GreenPad is a tiny text editor for Windows.

It aims to be a handy Notepad replacement with minimal but complete features, not to be a rich, bloated monsterous editor. GreenPad supports:

• Unicode 14.0
• Proportional Fonts
• Syntax Highlighting

• Searching with Regular Expressions while keeping the size of .exe very small (around 150KB!).

  Freeware, distributed under the NYSL licence. Original source code is available at: http://www.kmonos.net/lib/gp.en.html New source here: https://github.com/RamonUnch/GreenPad Supported OSes: Win32s/NT3x/NT4/9x/ME/2000/XP/Vista/7/8.x/10/11, ReactOS.

<> < HARDWARE > i386 cpu or compatible and at least a couple of MB of free RAM. Tested with Win3.11fw + Win32s-1.30c with 3MB of ram. Performances are not great on an i386 even clocked at 33MHz and an i486 or faster is recomended. GreenPad will not benefit from a x87 FPU. However chardet.dll will.

< OS > You can run Green pad on Win32s from beta build 61. If you want the statusbar on Win32s 1.25 you can try to copy COMCTL32.DLL version 3.50.807.1 from Win32s 1.25.127 Also GreenPad Should run on Windows NT3.10.340 and later. GreenPad was also tested with early Chicago builds. You could however consider upgrading to Win95...

GreenPad was also tested on the WIN-OS/2 subsystem for OS/2 you will need to first install Win32s (1.25a recomended). Also the ansi version of GreenPad appears to work with Odin.

GreenPad also supports ReactOS which can be compared to 2000/XP in term of application support.

• Handle WS_EX_LAYOUTRTL for left to right scripts such as Hebrew.
• Handle more complete regular expression and especially capture groups for proper find replace.
• Handle binary files properly: We will need to flag each line with the carriage return type CRLF, LF or CR.
• Handle per-monitor dpi awareness. This will require to reload the Painter each time we receive the WM_DPICHANGED message.
• Improve syntactic coloration (highlight matching braces/parenthesis)
• Handle Dark mode in the non-client area for Windows 10 1607+
• Allow a Square selection mode for ASCII-Art or column handling.

<<What's New in 1.21 (by RamonUnch, 2023/12/18)>> < NEW >

• Ability to insert Unicode code-point with Ctrl+I shortcut. Default format is hexa, you can use decimal with a dot '.' prefix or octal with the 'o' or 'O' prefix. Example: C9 = xC9 = .201 = o311 and will input the LATIN CAPITAL LETTER E WITH ACUTE.
• Loosen even more the code-page selection if a string is directly typed.
• Selection width (if single line) or selection height will be now displayed in the Unicode code-point section of the status-bar.
• Jump dialog now can handle relative movements and can also handle column selection, use '+10' to go down 10 lines, 3,8 goes to line 3 col 8 etc.
• Edit menu was re-organized with a Modify sub-menu.
• Ctrl+B will go to next quote if a quote is at the left of the cursor.

• Added WM_UNICHAR handler.

  < FIXED >

• Crash when using long path file name and trying to open the save dialog.
• Crash on Windows 95 when a file contains U+FFFF. #178

<<What's New in 1.20 (by RamonUnch, 2023/11/12)>> < NEW >

• Added UTF-EBCDIC, Unicode IBM encoding, both save and read.
• Added F1 for contextual help, command line can be configured with the HelpExe string in the ini file (similar to GrepExe).
• Added the %S parameter to command line (Ctrl+G or F1) that expands to the current selection.
• Added the F7 command to open the selection in GreenPad, handles relative or full path names. Also opens URLs in default browser.

• Added a statusbar display for the codepoint of the character under the cursor in the Unicode form U+HEX
• Added F8 to display current selection length in UTF-16 characters. Statusbar is used if present, a message box is used otherwise.

• Warn if the currently opened file was modified outside of GreenPad. A message will open on focusing. To disable set WarnOnModified=0 in the ini file.

  < FIXED >

• Optimized Find/Replace so that it does not take for ever to replace a word in a big file, (MacroCommand optimization)
• Otimized loading time for long lines. Up to a 250MB line is fine now.
• Allow saving all UTF encoding with or without BOM excep for UTF7.
• Missing Auto-detection based on BOM for GB18030 and UTF7.

<<What's New in 1.17 (by RamonUnch, 2023/03/11)>> < NEW >

• OLE2 style drag and drop support was added in most builds To use it you will need to use the right click (easier to code) Also Win32s 1.25+ or NT3.50+ are needed.

• The Help->About menu and Dialog were added to GreenPad.

  < FIXED >

• Loading is now significantly faster for large files.

<<What's New in 1.16 (by RamonUnch, 2023/01/01)>> < NEW >

• Wrapping now occurs at word boundaries this helps readability. set ws=1/0 in the layout file to enable/disable. Character that can split include all control characters and all characters beyond U+2500
• Now control characters will be displayed as colored ASCII characters if the display for ideographic spaces is enabled (U+3000). This is helpful when looking up at binary files.
• Win32s build now will display full Unicode if it runs on Win9x/NT.
• Win32s build now support different key-maps on Win9x/NT

• Add support for UAC, now if a file cannot be opened by the current user GreenPad will prompt the user with the UAC pannel. Also the Open elevated (Ctrl+L) option was added to the file menu. Note: Elevating a process requires a new instance.

  < FIXED >

• Fixed crash on Ctrl+N on Win9x using unicows build.
• Fixed 64bit build.
• more 64bit index are now used on 64 bit builds.
• Fixed Win32s build not starting on real Win32s.
• Fixed: scroll range on Win32s is limited to 32k not 65k like NT. Now you will be able to scroll up to 8.3 million lines on Win32s.
• Removed unused functions decreasing exe size slightly.
• Now when copying a selection, nul chars will be converted to spaces so that the selection ca be fully pasted.
• Fixed: if CP1252 is not installed, ISO8859-1 will be used instead.

• Fixed: hidden/system files will now be editable.
• Fixed: Status bar window will only be created if it is enabled.
• Fixed: Now COMCTL32.DLL will be dynamically loaded so that GreenPad can work on old versions of Win32s. Status bar will not work if you do not have COMCTL32.DLL.

<<What's New in 1.15 (by RamonUnch, 2022/10/21)>> < NEW >

• Now Non-Break Space will be shown with ^ (NBSP character U+00A0 ' ') only if you enable the option to show U+3000 (ideographic space).
• Now the original memory manager is used, this reduces RAM usages and improves performances, adds 2KB to the exe though...
• Now Ctrl+Backspace and Ctrl+Del will delete up to the beginning/end of the word like with the standard edit control.
• Ctrl+U/Ctrl+K will delete all characters until the beginning/end of a line.

• Now the horizontal wheel is supported to scroll horizontally.

  < FIXED >

• The Manifest file no longer claims per-monitor DPI-awareness.
• Now the selection will remain active when user presses the Replace &All option in the Find/Replace dialog.
• Now Latin words will no longer be split when using extended alphabet ie: the word éléphant can be selected as a single word instead of 3.
• Avoid synchronous painting when scrolling.
• Scroll wheel with small steps are now properly supported.
• The number of lines to scroll per wheel step now takes into in account the system settings instead of being always 3 lines.
• Now on newer windows versions the a more accurate width will be calculated whenever a character is outside the Unicode ranges of the selected font thanks to the GetFontUnicodeRanges() function.
• Scroll bar will no longer be limited to 65K lines on NT3.1/3.5/Win32s. The same API is still used but scrolling precision is lost instead or the range. The new limit is about 8.9 million lines.
• Case-insensitive Search will no longer be limited to ASCII.
• Upper/Lower/Invert case functions will now work on Win32s.

<<What's New in 1.14 (by RamonUnch, 2022/04/28)>>

< NEW >

• Now a Win32s build is available. It does not support Unicode display but internally everything is stored in UTF-16. So if you open, edit and close an Unicode file, you will not "loose" data. Also it handles Unicode copy/paste on NT but display is still limited to ANSI. I recommend the Win32s version Only if you are still using Win32s.
• Some error messages boxes will no longer become invisible if you set the main GreenPad window topmost ie: Using AltSnap.

• Now if some files were copied in the clipboard with explorer, the full file paths will be pasted in GreenPad on Ctrl+V.

  < CHANGED >

• Changed Unquote option to Alt+N instead of Alt+Shift+Q that tends to change keyboard layout when you miss the Q.
• Now the Global IME is no longer disabled on Windows 95, it was supposedly buggy, but it seems to work just fine... You need to First Install Internet Explorer 5.1+ for global IME to be installable.

< FIXED >

• LTN1 (code page 1252) will no longer be treated internally, this removes redundant code and allows proper display of special chars such as 'œ'. because the internal handling was not correct.
• Fixed: Use GetClassInfo() function to determine how to enable status bar instead of relying on windows versions.
• Fixed: When a file contains long lines, GreenPad will no longer freeze. Loading can still be slow if you get lines that are more than 1MB.
• Fixed: Character width is calculated using GetTextExtentPointA function on Win32s for character beyond 256, so that the width of all printable characters is correctly set.
• Fixed: Win32s Out of bound array access in the drawing code.
• Fixed: Now when typing with Greek or Russian keyboards the characters will display properly on Win9x
• Fixed: Now Copy/Paste will handle full Unicode on Win9x.

<<What's New in 1.13 (by RamonUnch, 2022/02/15)>>

• Replace All is now limited to the current selection (if multi-line).
• Added Strip First Cahracters (Alt+Z) option, that removes the first characted of each line in the selection (inspired from Metapad).
• Added Quote/Unquote options to add/remove the line commenting character(s) to all selected lines. The default commenting char is set to '>' for files that have no .kwd associated (ie: *.txt). It will be atomatically '//' for C++, ';' for asm etc.
• You can now select codepage by number directly in the ReOpen dialog. It uses the same special codes than from the command line.

<<What's New in 1.12 (by RamonUnch, 2022/01/05)>>

• Fixed huge crash, regression in 1.11 when disabling word wrapping.
• Fixed crash caused by MRU on some saved paths (1.10 regression).
• Improved unicode support (thanks to @rotyam1)
• Added a bunch of codepage to the list (rotyam1)
• Include latest revision of chardet.dll (rotyam1)
• Statusbar should work on build 711 of NT3.5 (rotyam1)

<<What's New in 1.11 (by RamonUnch, 2021/12/21)>>

Christmas release!

Well now it is much better, you even got the statusbar on NT3.1, you no longer need to upgrade your comctl32 on Win95 and now IMM32 is dynamically imported at runtime. This means that the NT3.1 build is now the ULTIMATE BUILD. It runs on all windows version and does not sacrifice any features on newer windows. The only reason there are two builds is for aesthetic reasons and for the partial Japanese support possible on NT3.50+

• If available the IMM32.DLL will be loaded (advanced text services/IME).
• Thanks to @roytam1, it is now possible to have the statusbar on Windows NT3.1, also the "no text display bug" on windows 95 is fixed.
• Added the /LARGEADDRESSAWARE linker flag to permit up to 4GB ram usage when running GreenPad under 64bit edition of Windows.
• Now the main window is showed before loading the file.
• Smart indentation supported: keeps indentation level on Return.
• Added Tab/Shift+Tab to indent/un-indent a multi-line selection.
• Fix mingw64 builds and provide x64 builds of GreenPad.
• Fix IID_IMultiLanguage2 definition for encoding auto-detection. You no longer need chardet.dll on newer Windows versions.

TODO:

• Add UAC support for Windows Vista/7/8.X/10/11
• Find/Replace only in the selection (if any).
• Improve printer configuration.
• Fix more bugs, handle low memory situations better
• Ensure size_t is used over uint where applicable for x64 builds.
• Optimize memory usage so that larger files can be loaded.

<<What's New in 1.10 (by RamonUnch, 2021/12/03)>>

The purpose of this fork is to make the ultimate exe that will work on all Windows versions NT3.1-->Win11 while still having MAXIMUM functionality under later Windows versions. You can use it also on Win9x, for this you will need UNICOWS.DLL.

For now you have two versions of GreenPad: GreenPad.exe: English+Japaneese, NT3.5+ compatible version (needs IMM32.DLL) GPadNT31.exe: English only NT3.1+ compatible version.

• Support for UNC path, you can edit files with a path longer than 260 characters, only under Windows NT. Note that the shell is still limited to 260 char path so you can drag&drop long file path from double-commander or similar software, you can also use the command line. but it is not possible to use File->Open to open UNC. Blame Microsoft...
• Add Upper, Lower and Invert Case options that change the case of selected text. Use Alt+U/Alt+L/Alt+I, (like with Metapad).
• Add Trim trailing spaces option (Alt+W), like with Metapad.
• Added ESCAPE key to exit GreenPad.
• Added F12 key to be used for "Save As..", like in MS Office suite.
• Added F5 to refresh the file (keeps cursor position). Use F6 to insert Date&Time.
• Added new font control option to .lay files.
  • fx to set the width of the font in points (0 = normal)
  • fw to set the weight of the font (0 to 1000), 400=normal, 700=bold...
  • ff to set the 1:italic/2:underlined/4:strikeout font styles.
• The current font will be used for printing (ttf).
• Page Setup.. Was added for NT3.51 and later (to set Margin)
• Fix High DPI issues under Win8.x/10/11 (dpi-aware manifest)
• Fix crash because of an oob access in ip_parse.c!!!
• Fix: Use PostMessage instead of SendMessage and avoid to freeze all instances of GreenPad when one stops responding.
• Use CreateWindow instead of CreateStatusWindow, so statubar can be included in WinNT3.1 (Needs COMCTL32 v3.5+ though).
• Dynamically import OLE32.dll so that it is detected at runtime instead of compile time (towards ultimate exe).
• Dynamically import CharNextExA, when using Win95+/NT4+ -> ultimate exe.
• Re-implement FindWindowEx function using EnumChildWindows for NT3.1. So that you can Use Ctrl+Tab there to switch between GreenPad windows.
• Dynamically import Get/SetScrollInfo for the best scroll support on Window NT3.51 and later and fallback to Get/SetScrollPos for NT3.1/3.5.
• New files can now be created from the Open dialog.
• Dynamically import GetKeyboardLayout --> ultimate exe.
• Dynamically import GetShortPathNameW (actually useless...).

TODO:

• Add UAC support for Windows Vista/7/8.X/10/11
• Dynamically import IMM32.DLL --> Ultimate exe.
• Find/Replace only in the selection (if any).
• Smart indentation option
• Tab/Shift+Tab to indent/un-indent a block of text.
• Improve printer configuration.

<<Q&A>>

• How to change fonts and colors ?

  In the types/ dir, you'll see some .lay files. Please edit them manually.

  ct=Color of Text (RGB) ck=Color of Keyword cb=Color of BackGround cc=Color of ControlCharactor cn=Color of commeNt cl=Color of Line no. ft=FonT name fw=Font wheight from 1 to 1000 (400=normal, 700=bold...) fx=Font width in points (0 means default width) ff=Font Flags (1:Italic/2:Underline/4:Strikeout) sz=font SiZe (font height in points) tb=TaB width sc=11000 (Show special chars 0|1 for: [EOF],\n,\t,space,fw-space) wp=WraP type (-1: no wrap 0: right edge 1: ww chars ) ww=Wrap Width ws=Wrap Smart (1: wrap at word boundaries, 0: character) ln=show LineNo.

  Year, editing manually, is very inconvinient. I'll create GUI configurator someday ...

• How to create syntax hilighting modes?

  Write you own .kwd files and put them into the types/ directory. The format of .kwd files is as follows:

  1111 # Four Boolean Flags, 0:false 1:true (explained later) / # beginning symbol for block-comments / # ending symbol for block-comments // # beggining symbol for one-line comments auto # the list of keywords follows... bool _Bool break case ...

  The meanings of the four flags are, from left to right:

  • CaseSensitive (if set to 1, keywords are treated as case-sensitive.)
  • EnableSingleQuotation (if set to 1, keywords inside '...' is not highlighted.)
  • EnableDoubleQuoatation (if set to 1, keywords inside "..." is not highlighted.)
  • EnableEscapeSequences (if set to 1, "..\".." is teated as a single string.) Usually, 0111 or 1111 is recommended.

• Which regular expressions can be used?

  Here is the complete list of the regular expressions available in GreenPad:

  quanitification: ? : 0 or 1

  • : 0 or more

  • : 1 or more

    alternation: a|b

    grouping(parentheses)

    special escape characters: \t : tab \ : '\' itself [ : '['

    positional match: ^ : start of line $ : end of line

    character classes: [abc] : matches a single character 'a', 'b', or 'c' [^abc] : matches any single character other than 'a', 'b', or 'c' [d-h] : matches 'd', 'e', 'f', 'g', 'h' \w : [0-9a-zA-Z] \W : [^0-9a-zA-Z] \d : [0-9] \D : [^0-9] \s : [\t ] \S : [^\t ]

    There are some limitations:

    • GreenPad does searching line by line, thus you cannot search "aaa\nbbb" or something like it.
    • No forward/backward references.
    • No shortest matches (every * is greedy)

• External Grep Program ?

  You can enter some GUI grep program here. For example, C:\Software\Gj\GrepJuice.exe "%D" is set in my environment. %D is automatically replaced by the current directory %F is replaced with the full path of the current file. %N is replaced with the name (without path info) of the current file. %S is replaced by the current selection in GreenPad.

• Command Line Options ?

  greenpad ([-l LineNumber] [-c CharacterSet] filename)*

  For example: greenpad -l543 -c932 aaaa.txt opens a file named "aaaa.txt" assuming the Shift_JIS encoding, and brings its 543rd line to the view area. CharacterSet number supported by default is: UTF1 = -1 UTF5 = -2 UTF8 = -65001 UTF9 = -11 UTF16BE = -5 UTF16LE = -6 UTF32BE = -9 UTF32LE = -10 FSS-UTF = -12 UTF-EBCDIC = -15 SCSU = -60002 BOCU = -60003 If you have installed "Language Support" for your Windows, the character sets of installed languages become readable/writable in GreenPad. You should consult with the "area and language option" control panel to get the CharacterSet numbet for those languages. Note however that for some east asian encodings, special CharacterSet numbers are assigned for a technical reason. EUC-JP = -932 iso-2022-jp = -933 iso-2022-kr = -950 iso-2022-cn = -936 GB2312 = -937

• How to share GreenPad's configurations between users of same machine?

  Usually, GreenPad saves and loads its configuration for each machine user account. However, sometimes you want to use only one setting for one GreenPad.exe. (for example, when you have GreenPad in an emergency floppy disk and log in different users accounts.)

  In this case, you should add the following two lines to GreenPad.ini file: [SharedConfig] Enable=1 then GreenPad will be executed in user-independent-settings-mode.
