BBEdit Lite is the freeware derivative of BBEdit 4.0, the popular and critically acclaimed text and HTML editor for Web authors, programmers, on-line-service users, and anyone else who needs to edit plain-text files. >This new version includes a variety of enhancements to its feature set and capabilities; and, for the first time, it is built from the same code and resource bases as its commercial cousin. This has yielded many "under the hood" improvements to performance, functionality, and reliability. >*PowerPC Performance* >BBEdit Lite 4.0 is now constructed as a "fat binary": an application which is fully native on both 680x0 and PowerPC Macintosh models. This yields maximum performance on Power Macs, and also derives benefits from using Virtual Memory on Power Macintosh models. >*Drag and Drop Text Editing* >BBEdit Lite 4.0 features "drag and drop" text editing; having made a selection, you simply drag it to wherever it needs to go: another location in the same document, another open window, or another application. If you drop your text selection in the Finder, and the "Clipping Extension" is installed, the system will create a clipping file, which may be re-used at any time. >You can also insert a file's contents into a text document by simply dragging and dropping it from another location. To insert a folder listing, drag and drop a folder (or an alias to a folder), or even an entire disk. >*And a Host of Other Changes* >The BBEdit Lite 4.0 package includes a number of other enhancements over previous versions, including: an "Open Recent" command to offer quick access to the twelve most-recently-opened files, updated BBEdit extensions with enhancements to "827", "Educate Quotes" and "Prefix/Suffix Lines", and improved performance in Grep searches and "Replace All" operations. >*Zero Cost* >BBEdit Lite is free, with no qualification. It is not a shareware or commercial product. It is not a demo version, and there is no expectation that you will buy anything. >About BBEdit and BBEdit Lite >----- ------ --- ------ ---- >Since before the first commercial release of BBEdit in 1993, BBEdit Lite has established a following among software developers, HTML authors, Internet users, and many other Macintosh(R) users who need its plain-text editing and transformation capabilities. >The commercial version of BBEdit was developed to take advantage of the latest innovations available for the Mac, and to expand its integration with other applications. BBEdit was the first HTML editor to be included with the Apple Internet Server Solution, and has become the weapon of choice for HTML authors and webmasters all over the world, due in large measure to its power and ease of use. >BBEdit has an established tradition of technological leadership. It was the first commercial text editor to integrate with Symantec and Apple development tools, support emerging technologies such as Apple Guide, AppleScript, Macintosh Drag and Drop, XTND(TM), PowerTalk, and Internet integration, and to take advantage of the high performance PowerPC(TM) processor used in the Power Macintosh(R) platform. >All throughout BBEdit's development, however, Bare Bones Software kept the freeware version of its text editor alive. "The success of BBEdit Lite in the freeware market is what encouraged us to develop a commercial version in the first place," said Rich Siegel, President and founder of Bare Bones Software. "To this day, most people who have bought the commercial version of BBEdit started out by using BBEdit Lite. So, we do what we can to keep BBEdit Lite the best freeware text editor available for the Mac." >Bare Bones Software invites anyone interested in learning more about BBEdit and BBEdit Lite to visit their web site at , or to send e-mail inquiries to . >*Pricing and Availability* >BBEdit Lite can be downloaded for free from the Bare Bones Software web site, at . >== >BBEdit and the Bare Bones Software logo are trademarks of Bare Bones Software, Inc.
