File Information
All relevant information is available at your fingertips. When was that specific file created? Is it untouched or modified? We also implemented a Sauce reader for easy Sauce record investigation. It's all inside.

Fonts
Choose between 10 classic and modern typefaces. From DOS to Amiga fonts, through to contemporary fonts like Terminus, we got them all. Embedded. No specific font file needs to be installed.
-
Encodings
There are 19 encodings available to save from one to the other, DOS, Amiga, anything. We even added Unicode support. Can Escapes open regular text files? Absolutely. So it is also a simple text editor? You got it.

Viewer Mode
You don't want to (accidently?) harm your art collection? Go ahead and just enable the built-in viewer mode. It will open all files read-only and thus leave your precious collection untouched.

Advanced
Tons of advanced settings like overriding .bin columns, iCE colors and bits. We also added automatic hyperlink detection, auto-sizing document windows and a superb themes section. Choose factory presets or create your own ASCII and text file themes.
