This software is developed in Java. To run this software you need to have JRE(Java Runtime Environment) installed in your computer. If you do not have it then download it from Java Download page Bangla Note Pad BanglaPad is an open source, light-weight, full-featured cross-platform Unicode rich text editor capable of editing Bangla that can run on different operating systems, such as Windows, Linux/Unix, owing to its base on the Java programming language.
