TextPad is a text editor for Microsoft Windows developed by Helios Software Solutions. It is currently in its ninth major version.[1] TextPad was initially released in 1992[2] as shareware, with users requested to pay a registration fee to support future development.[3] As of 1996 the company was an associate member of the Association of Shareware Professionals.[4] By 1998 the company was pointing out that the editor was "shareware (try before you buy)" and payment was necessary to continue to use it.[5]
