Notepad with display of line numbers

Notepad with display of line numbers in the status bar

The Notepad editor supplied with Windows XP is only a very narrow one
of its kind. Still, while there are many better alternatives, it is widely used.
It would be very helpful to have at least one ad that tells you in which line
or column of the text to be edited you are currently in.
