- BBEdit 2.5 Release Notes
- ------ --- ------- -----
-
- This document contains information which was developed too late to be included
- in the manuals.
-
- BBEdit Is Commercial!
- ------ -- -----------
-
- This version of BBEdit is NOT FREE. If you are using a copy that you obtained
- by a means other than a legitimate site license, product bundle, or direct
- purchase, then I encourage you to write to the address below and order your
- own copy. The pricing is reasonable, and options are available for discount
- and quantity pricing.
-
- On Location 2.0, Quadras, and AppleShare
- -- -------- ---- -------- --- ----------
-
- There is a bug in On Location versions 2.0 and 2.0.1 which will cause your
- Macintosh to hang if you’re using a Macintosh Quadra, you have AppleShare
- volumes mounted, and you choose the “Find...” command in BBEdit. If this set
- of circumstances applies to you, you have these options: (1) Turn off the “On
- Location” option in the External Services section of the Preferences, and
- re-launch BBEdit; (2) Unmount any AppleShare volumes before using BBEdit’s
- “Find...” command; (3) Disable On Location; (4) Contact ON Technologies
- technical support and report the problem. You can contact them via AppleLink:
- their address is ON.SUPPORT; through the Internet (or any service which has a
- gateway to the Internet), their address is ON.SUPPORT@applelink.apple.com. If
- more people report the problem, they may be motivated to find a solution
- sooner, rather than later.
-
- (Note that an “AppleShare volume” can be a fileserver volume or a volume
- on someone else’s Macintosh published with Personal File Sharing under
- System 7.0.)
-
- FaxSTF “FaxPrint” Printer Driver
- ------ ---------- ------- ------
-
- Version 2.2.3 of the “FaxPrint” printer driver, supplied with the FaxSTF
- fax software package, has a bug in it which can cause all applications,
- not just BBEdit, to malfunction. STF Technologies has been notified of
- the problem. In the meantime, to avoid potential problems, choose another
- printer driver, such as the ImageWriter or LaserWriter driver, except
- when you’re planning to fax documents directly from within BBEdit.
- Contact STF Technologies for the latest information on the availability
- of a fix.
-
- NOW Utilities
- --- ---------
-
- Older versions of Super Boomerang have a bug which affects BBEdit;
- in particular, you cannot type upper-case letters in the “Save As…”
- dialog. This bug is fixed in version 4.0 and later of the NOW Utilities
- package; contact NOW Software for an update.
-
- NOW Save causes BBEdit’s “File” menu to get scrambled. To avoid this,
- turn off NOW Save when running BBEdit.
-
- The Programmer’s Editor Package
- --- ------------ ------ -------
-
- BBEdit was written with libraries which are part of the Programmer’s
- Editor Package. The PE Package provides high-performance text editing,
- searching, directory search, and pattern-match capabilities for use
- in text-manipulation programs. For more information, write to the
- address below.

- -------
-
- Thank you for purchasing BBEdit. If you have any suggestions for
- improvements, or any problems to report, don’t be shy. Feedback
- from customers is the best way to improve any piece of software.
-
- Thanks also to the many people who, in one way or another,
- directly contributed to the production and success of BBEdit.
- They’re all listed in the about box; choose “About BBEdit...”
- from the Apple menu to see their names.
-
- Without the assistance of all of these people, BBEdit would not exist.
