Edit: didn't see the previous answer, had the window open for too long @SiMoNsAyS Interesting. However, I just tried typing in Russian keyboard layout and it didn't work. Trying to switch the layout from EN to RU with ALT+SHIFT didn't accomplish anything, while changing the layout through the kbd indicator in the tray (I'm under Win2k at the moment) didn't switch the layout at all. Indeed, Russians have hundreds of Notepad replacements Probably, because there are two Russian encodings to begin with (KOI-8 and Windows 1251). This is the first one with English installer and interface I ran across_http://www.dgstudios.com/nick/download/texted.exe 500kb Text ->Convert encoding Sorry, I thought you'd find something at sourceforge...
