About BBEdit Lite
----- ------ ----

BBEdit Lite is a freeware derivative of BBEdit 3.0, the popular and
critically acclaimed text editor for programmers, on-line-service
users, and anyone else who needs to edit plain-text files.

BBEdit Lite is shipped with a QuickStart document which describes many
of the applicationÕs features. Full documentation, as well as a
considerable amount of additional functionality, is available with the
purchase of BBEdit 3.0. See the document ÒBBEdit General InformationÓ
for details on obtaining BBEdit 3.0.

Feature Overview
------- --------

BBEdit Lite offers the following useful functionality:

¥	Stationery documents. You can create a stationery document with
BBEdit; whenever you open that document with BBEdit, its contents,
format information, and window position will be used to create a new
untitled window. You can also create a ÒglobalÓ stationery document
which will be used as a template for all new windows.

¥	Open Several. This variation on the standard ÒOpenÉÓ command enables
you to open multiple files at once from multiple locations in the file
system. You can also specify aliases to files, and those aliases will
be resolved all at once.

¥	Powerful multi-file search. BBEdit offers the usual multi-file
search, in which a disk directory is scanned and the files are opened
one at a time; however, BBEdit can also display the search results in a
window for easy browsing (and selected entries in the window can be
opened for display). The search can also be limited to files that are
already opened for editing in BBEdit, or to files which were already
found in a previous multi-file search. BBEdit also offers multi-file
replace capability for automated Òsearch and destroyÓ operations.

¥	Zero cost. BBEdit Lite is free, with no qualification. ItÕs not
shareware, and itÕs not commercial. ItÕs not crippled, nor is it
a demo.

BBEdit Lite also offers the following :

¥	High quality. BBEdit Lite is based on mature and stable technology;
this technology is the benificiary of years of in-house and field use
and testing. The commitment to quality and functionality shown in
BBEdit 3.0 is reflected in BBEdit Lite.

¥	File size limited only by available memory. BBEdit LiteÕs default
partition size is 640K of RAM. This can be set as low as 450K, to make
BBEdit Lite the ideal constantly-resident editor for small to moderate
tasks, or turned up as high as necessary to edit many large files or
perform large-scale search-and-replace operations. If youÕre running
under System 7.0, BBEdit Lite automatically takes advantage of
available system memory, so that you donÕt have to adjust its partition
size to edit large files.

¥	No hard limit on number of files open. The number of files that
BBEdit Lite can have open at once is limited by available memory, and
can be increased or decreased by adjusting  BBEdit LiteÕs partition
size as appropriate.

¥	Easy manipulation of multiple files at once. The ÒOpen SeveralÉÓ
command makes it possible to open multiple files from different folders
at once, and the Save and Print commands can operate on all open files
at once.

¥	Pattern (ÒgrepÓ) searching. Matching patterns can be constructed so
that strings other than exact literal matches can be found and
replaced; for example, converting Pascal comments to C comments, or
converting C++ comments to C comments.

¥	System 7 awareness. Besides supporting all of the basic System 7
functionality such as 32-bit mode, virtual memory, and the like, BBEdit
also takes advantage of specific System 7 functionality wherever
possible in order to either improve performance or to improve its
appearance. This is done without sacrificing System 6 compatibility.

¥	High performance. Try and enjoy.

The document ÒBBEdit Lite QuickstartÓ contains specific information on
how to take advantage of BBEdit LiteÕs capabilities. 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 documentation on how to
write your own extensions, and sample source code. The extension
developerÕs kit is also available for anonymous FTP from world.std.com,
in /ftp/pub/bbedit, and from mirrors of sumex.stanford.edu,
in /info-mac/text.

BBEdit Lite has many of the same capabilities as the commercial BBEdit;
however, the following functionality is -not- present in BBEdit Lite:

	-	Although it is compatible with the Power Macintosh, BBEdit
		Lite contains no native PowerPC code. (Power Macintosh users
		will notice some performance benefits, which are the result
		of portions of the Toolbox running as native PowerPC code.)
		
	-	AOCE is not supported;
	
	-	BBEdit Lite is not scriptable;
	
	-	Macintosh Drag and Drop support is not included;
	
	-	Find Differences (comparing files, folders, and projects) is
		not included;
		
	-	you cannot split windows;
	
	-	disk browsers are not included, and you can only have one Search
		Results window open at a time;
		
	-	Marker support is not provided;
	
	-	PopupFuncsª technology is not included (you can, however, purchase
		and install the PopupFuncs product into BBEdit Lite);
		
	-	Markers are not supported;
	
	-	BBEdit Lite does not know about project documents;
	
	-	XTND translation is not supported;
	
	-	Integration with THINK C/Symantec C++ and THINK Reference is not
		supported;
		
	-	The Glossary is not supported;
	
	-	ToolServer is not supported;
	
	-	BBEdit Lite cannot use extensions which are written specifically
		for use on PowerPC Macs, nor can it use ÔfatÕ extensions (which
		contain both 68K and PowerPC code) written to the BBEdit 3.0
		extension interface.

Distribution
------------

BBEdit Lite is a freely distributable, copyrighted program, otherwise
known as ÒfreewareÓ. There is no registration process, no fee requested
or required, no obligation on your part, and no guilt.

We at Bare Bones Software do not subscribe to the concept of
ÒsharewareÓ; it has been our direct experience that many people simply
ignore shareware notices. The cost of goods related to distributing
BBEdit Lite is very low, and can be recouped by means other than
(unsuccessfully) trying to shame users into paying some small amount of
money for a program.

We believe that when users of a program make the financial sacrifice to
obtain a piece of software, they should expect, and receive, significant
value added. This is why a commercial distribution of BBEdit 3.0
exists.

If you feel compelled to pay us for BBEdit Lite, donÕt. Instead, we
encourage you to order your own copy of BBEdit 3.0. See ÒBBEdit 3.0
Pricing InfoÓ for information on how to do it.
