DESCRIPTION:

StratusPad is a text editor and a replacement 
for WordPad and Notepad.  It allows multiple 
large files to be opened.  It is highly 
customizable and includes a spell checker, 
word count, case conversion, load workspace, 
column and line indicators and much more.  
It allows drag-and-drop between files and the 
ability to open .doc, .wri, .rtf, and .txt 
file formats.  Shareware.  

REQUIRES: Windows 95.  

NOTE:
To open .doc and .wri files, mswd6_32.wpc and write32.wpc 
must be present (included in the current directory or in 
your path).  They are included on the Windows95 CDROM.  
The default location for these files is:
C:\Program Files\Accessories

INSTALLING: 

Run setup.exe
