What's New
Version 6.0:
- A full recompilation has been made to be compatible with OS X 10.7 Lion.
- A full recompilation has been made again as Universal Binary to keep being compatible with both old (PowerPC) Macs and recent (Intel) Macs.
- Minor bugs have been corrected.
- The "How to intall it?" paragraph of the documentation has been updated to explain how to install and launch the application in particular under OS X 10.8 Mountain Lion and 10.9 Mavericks:
Under OS X 10.8 Mountain Lion and 10.9 Mavericks, if you're launching the application for the first time, maybe OS X's GateKeeper (which you can configure in the "System Preferences") will refuse to launch it because you've not downloaded it from the Mac App Store (but from our website). In this case, instead of double-clicking on it, all you have to do is to right-click on the application's icon, and then select the "Open" menu. A message will appear in which you'll be able to confirm that you want to launch the application (even if it was not downloaded from the Mac App Store from an Identified Developer).

There's a shareware fee of $20 for this which is ridiculous.
I would definitely choose the simple yet elegant, and FREE, "Smultron" over Plain Text Editor.

Why would you create a simple text editor with a few skimpy little features and make it shareware? PEOPLE: Just use TextEdit from Apple. This program is a waste of money, HD Space, and time. TextEdit can do better than this and it is FREE. And please MAKE YOUR OWN ICON! You are stealing another's. You could at least modify it a little.
Why make this Shareware??????
