"Alpha is a very powerful, multi-purpose editor that allows any program - or user-defined function to be bound to any keystroke, or placed into  user-defined menus. Every menu is defined in the macro language Tcl by  one of the startup files ("alphaBits.tcl" or one of the files sourced  from inside it)."

                                               BBEdit Lite

VERSION - UPDATE: 3.5.1  (01-02-96)                             

README:
"BBEdit Lite is a freeware derivative of BBEdit 3.1, the popular and critically acclaimed text editor for programmers, on-line-service users, and anyone else who needs to edit plain-text files."
"As of BBEdit Lite 3.5.1, the following reported problems have been fixed:
-
Page numbers are now printed correctly, i.e. "Page M of N", instead of "MN".
-
Some character spacing anomalies when printing in Monaco on laser printers have been worked around. Monaco remains a problematic font, however - we recommend the use of Courier or ProFont.
-
A bug which prevented the opening of 'PICT' files has been corrected.
-
When bringing up the "Find..." dialog for the first time in a session, the popup area next to the "File Type" prompt would be blank. It now correctly displays "All Available".

-
The diamonds in the Windows menu are now properly updated each time you pull down the Windows menu.
-
The items on the Edit menu are now correctly enabled when a dialog box is being displayed.
-
The items in the Windows menu are now properly updated after performing a "Save As" operation."
