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;
- 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

source for the extensions supplied with BBEdit Lite, and documentation
on how to write your own extensions.

and replacement;
