Re: link checking - Text editor

To answer your (implied) question, there is a text editor with all these 
functions and more ...

A friend introduced me to Ultra Edit (www.ultraedit.com).  It can search and 
replace in hex or ASCii over entire directories, open files of unlimited 
size, it's a hex editor as well as ASCII,  it has colour coding of HTML 
files, you can select in text or column mode, has a spell checker,   and 
there are a zillion other features.

I never use notepad - I find it a real wimp of an app after Ultra Edit.
