Steve -

Absolutely right; I’d completely forgotten about Treepad, which I haven’t used for years. As you say, the file format is virtually all plain text with a sprinkling of non-ASCII stuff - rather like the old DOS PC-Write files, and perfect for indexed searching. I expect a lot of the other earlier generation of two-pane tree-type of editors also used plain text - like Skwyrul, Golden Section Notes, etc.
