May I contribute my $0.02, and say that from my point of view:
A) Aled is far from being TINY. B) Aled is just another plain editor.
not exiting or good in any way. C) It shouldn't have been posted
to begin with- it is so ordinary thaT I throw it to the waste basket
without even trying to use 8-bit chars, D) besides I hate it when some
one forces me to use blue chars.


SO DO NOT EVEN DOWLOAD IT!
