"TopGun is a freestanding portable executable application written in Microsoft Assembler (MASM). It is a tool designed to be fast and is targetted at "savvy" users who need a fast text editor. It uses a "registry safe" design that neither reads or writes to the registry, it does not use any "side by side" DLLs and it needs no additional files to run by itself." (copied from home page)

Very small, around 17k (that's right, kilobytes!)
