Running in the MS Windows environment, its use is governed by GPL (GNU General Public License).Why another source code editor?*******************************The company I worked for used JEXT (another open source code editor in Java) as the production tool. Due to its poor performance, I began an investigation to find another solution (in C++ instead of in Java) in September 2003. I found Scintilla and built a prototype. This solution was not accepted. I removed the specific part and continued to develop it in my leisure time. On the 25th November 2003 it was made available on Sourceforge, hence the birth of Notepad++.How to install:***************From the installer:	Just follow the installation instructions.From the zip/7z package:	Unzip all the files into a directory you want then launch "notepad++.exe".
