Saving in Notepad

[Tripredacus]

I've been using UltraEdit since... (sorry i need to look at the install date) ... 2003? Was Notepad++ around then?

I used to use UltraEdit back then too. It was a fairly good text editor and pretty good hex editor -- a hard to beat combo. But they screwed up a lot of things in the latest versions IMO, even in the hex editing department (searching for unicode strings is now a real PITA; also it even defaults to a "hex" search in text files...). I'm less and less impressed with every new release of UltraEdit that comes out. It does a lot of things but none of them particularly well, and in most cases there's better alternatives, and often for free (e.g. notepad++ for text, winmerge for comparing/merging, etc). I've made the switch to Notepad++ a while ago as my main text editor and never looked back.

I remember trying the demo of one of the newer versions of UltraEdit and I didn't like it. I originally started using UltraEdit for CSS back when I used Dreamweaver 2, since DW2 would crash if you tried to edit a CSS file in it. Actually, even CS4 can crash with a CSS file. I still use an old version. I suppose some day, if I need more power, I'll look at Notepad++.
