Here is just that re-constitution: https://github.com/katahiromz/RWordPad

But I think it's the loss of the Wordpad that matters to people, but that Wordpad will be yanked from all current and future Windows machines. For people who use a lot of different systems as guest, this can matter.

They've upgraded the multi-tabbed notepad to use the Rich text edit control these days (win11)

It's also a OLE/COM testing application.

And an MFC demo application.
