Is there a way I can configure Atlantis to replace Notepad.exe in Windows 98SE?

You can associate Atlantis with the TXT file extension. Atlantis Ocean Mind can do this automatically (Tools | Associate With Document Type... menu command).

Is it possible to associate more than one type of file extension as a default to open?

Yes, you can associate Atlantis with as many file types (extensions) as you wish.

There is no automatic revert operation (disassociate).<br>You should associate another application with the desired file extension. You could use the Windows Explorer's View &#124; Folder Options... command to change association.<br>

I haven't tried this with Atlantis, but it works with my personal notepad replacement, Metapad (which reads RTF, BTW).<br><br>1. Copy Notepad to another folder (don't rename it).<br><br>2. Copy Atlantis.exe to the Windows folder.<br><br>3. Reboot into real-mode DOS.<br><br>4. From DOS, rename the Atlantis copy as Notepad.exe<br><br>Now, everything associated with Notepad goes to our favorite.<br>

For years I've used an excellent little text-only freeware program called Notepad+ as a replacement for Windows Notepad. &nbsp;It looks and feels like Notepad, but does a lot more without losing the simplicity of Notepad. Check it out at:<br><br>http://www.mypeecee.org/rogsoft/notepad.html

had just a look on it. Seems to be a little similar to the Atlantis 0.7.
