Some of the great features of ExtremePad include:

        *Simple tabbed-interface allows editing of multiple
          files

         opening ExtremePad when you're away

6.  Thanks
~~~~~~~~~~

I owe thanks to many people who have encouraged me along
the way to make ExtremePad what it is and have helped me
to solve problems or fix bugs.  You know who you are, so
thanks a lot.  I'd also like to thank Robert Durlock who
gave me the idea for the MinLock feature and tested every
version of ExtremePad.
