In depth
A closer look at MetPad
Although building applications and web pages nowadays has become quite an easy task, because of less and less writing requirement, code is still an important part of programming, especially for debugging. As such, MetPad comes as a powerful environment with which to work on your source files, or build them from scratch. A cool advantage, especially for this type of program is that you don’t need to go through a setup process to make it work. This allows you to carry it and project files with you on a thumb drive to use on other computers, without worrying that stability has to suffer, because registry entries are not modified during runtime. The interface poses no accommodation problems, not even to inexperienced individuals. Most of the space is where you write all code or text, with a side panel letting you store multiple active files for an enhanced experience. File support is impressive, so you’re able to process formats like TXT, INI, CFG, C, CPP, H, JAVA, TCL, PL, CMD, BAT, and SH.
