- ABOUT BBEDIT LITE
- ----- ------ ----
-
- BBEdit Lite is an evolution of BBEdit 2.2, the popular freeware text editor.
- BBEdit Lite offers the same overall performance and ease of use as BBEdit 2.2,
- but offers the following improvements:
-
- - linefeed translation for DOS files is much faster;
-
- - Zap Gremlins is much faster;
-
- - an Unwrap command is now available for unwrapping text for
- export to word processors;
-
- - Entab and Detab have been improved;
-
- - Upper Case and Lower Case have been replaced with a general-
- purpose Change Case;
-
- - compatibility with Macintosh Unix systems such as A/UX and MachTen is
- improved;
-
- - BBEdit Lite is approximately 20% smaller on disk than BBEdit 2.2.
-
- To better serve the needs of freeware BBEdit users, and to reduce the
- size and complexity of the program, several features which are technically
- interesting but not of general interest to those users have been removed.
-
- To further reduce disk space requirements and downloading costs, BBEdit
- Lite is provided without documentation. Full documentation, as well as
- a considerable amount of additional functionality, is available with
- the purchase of BBEdit 2.5. See below for additional details on upgrading
- your copy of BBEdit Lite to BBEdit 2.5.
-
- If you would like to write BBEdit extensions, send a request to the
- address below. If you are sending your request via U.S. Mail, include
- a floppy disk and return postage. The reply package will include
- source for the extensions supplied with BBEdit Lite, and documentation
- on how to write your own extensions.
