Can anyone recommend a free (or cheap, if it's good) text editor that supports multiple encoding formats? I need support for ASCII, UTF-8, EUC-JP, and Shift-JIS in one program, with the ability to convert between them (by opening/resaving). I've been using the shareware program EmEdit, which is pretty good, but it's not quite full-featured enough to warrant shelling out the $40 when my evaluation expires.

You could try Simredo, which is a free Java based Unicode editor. To my knowledge, it supports a number of encodings. Although I don't know exactly if it meets your requirements. See http://www4.vc-net.ne.jp/~klivo/sim/simeng.htm

Thanks. The java one is a little too rough for me, although it does the job. Unipad is exactly the sort of thing that I need, except it doesn't handle enough formats. I need a program that also reads/saves Shift-JIS and EUC-JP. If I can't find one I may just end up paying for EmEdit.

Simredo is nice if you have Java and Windows 2000+. Unired can handle Unicode characters and works on Windows 95+. I can't remember if PSPad can do Unicode, but it's the only freeware text editor that I know of that runs on W95+ with *full regex*.
