#   Notepad-NT  

Windows NT 5.x Notepad with fixes

Modified from the Windows NT 5.2 source, with additions from [NotePadEx](https://github.com/vxiiduu/NotepadEx), and compiler optimizations.

 - Use [SSE2](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/SSE2) [SIMD](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Single_instruction,_multiple_data)

   instruction set extensions for both x86 and x64.

 - Use the [/O2 compiler flag](https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/cpp/build/reference/o1-o2-minimize-size-maximize-speed)

   for maximum optimizations.

 - Change icon to classic NT one.

 - Lint source and remove undefined variables.

 - Fix building on MSVS 2017/2019.

 - Add 'Ctrl+Shift+S' to open the "Save As" Dialog box.

 - Enable "Word Wrap" and "Status Bar" to be enabled at the same time.

 - Reduce flickering when resizing the Window on NT 6.0 and below.

 - Name is changed to "Notepad NT" for most things.

Works on Windows XP - 10 (11 doesn't display it correctly)

### TODO:

 – Add "Open New Window" option.

 – Allow "Find" Dialog box to search backwards with 'Shift+F3'

### Building

Requires MSVS 2017 or 2019 *and* the `v141_xp` Windows XP toolchain.  

This can be found in the Visual Studio Installer after going to "Individual Components" and searching for "Windows XP". 

Info [Here](https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/cpp/build/configuring-programs-for-windows-xp#install-the-windows-xp-platform-toolset).

The original source called for MSVS 2005, and the updated project files from [vxiiduu](https://github.com/vxiiduu) 

called for MSVS 2010, but I wanted it to be able to build on modern Windows and modern MSVS, 

while still being able to build on Windows 7.

 - Open the `Notepad-NT.sln` file and then you can build it.

#### Windows 2000 Support

Requires MSVS 2010 + Windows 7 SDK  

This allows for Windows 2000 support.

 - Open the `Notepad-NT-msvs2010.sln` file and then you can build it.
