Editor's Review of UltraEdit
It takes a certain amount of hubris to call your program "UltraEdit." The name sets high expectations. Fortunately for vendor IDM, this program meets them.
UItraEdit is a text editor, not a word processor. Although you can set the font, it is by document, not character or paragraph, and you'll probably be using Courier. There are no fancy embedded graphics, header styles, or sidebars here. UltraEdit is about text, pure text, raw and unadorned text, and it gives you every tool you could reasonably want to work with that.
UltraEdit has a fairly interesting interface that combines a tabbed display with an older-style Multiple Document display. This is extremely useful for the kind of work people are likely to perform using this tool: working with multiple open code files, data files, hex dumps, and possibly HTML or .ini files, all at once. Make any open document active by clicking the tab, and display multiple documents at once to make cutting, pasting, and referencing easier. It works very well.
Are you a programmer? UltraEdit has code highlighting for Java, C, FORTRAN (remember, a skilled programmer can write FORTRAN code in any language!), and many other common languages. You can, of course, change the colors to meet your personal preference. In addition, the program will 'fold' code--compressing blocks visually to save space.
The feature list goes on and on--there is an HTML Validator, an ASCII chart, several kinds of word wrap, column selection, and more and more and more. If the existing features aren't enough, UltraEdit supports scripting via JavaScript, so you can add a great deal of additional functionality.
If you regularly work with raw ASCII text--especially if you're not already committed to a development environment--UltraEdit is well worth trying out.
