If you open file as text, PSPad makes code page conversion to unicode - you need it to be able to edit your file. If you switch to HEX edito from text, you don't see file as is stored on disk, but you see memory content - file in unicode.
If you open file directly in the HEX edit, you will see it as is on the disk. -- <http://forum.pspad.com/read.php?4,44014,44026> PSPad freeware editor http://www.pspad.com
