EditPad Classic—The Original Postcardware Text Editor

EditPad Classic is the original EditPad developed by a student named Jan Goyvaerts in 1996 and released as postcardware. Postcardware means that if you want to keep the software after a short trial period, you should send the author a nice postcard from the region where you lived. With the advent of version 3 in 1997, EditPad became one of the most popular text editors on the Windows platform. It was fast and compact and it had all the basic functionality a text editor needs.
