TextWrangler 1.0   Despite its version number, Bare Bones Software’s TextWrangler is not a conventional “1.0 product”—a new product with new and untested code. Instead, it’s a $49 text editor based on Bare Bones’ $179 BBEdit (; March 2003), a product that’s been around the block a few times. This useful, low-cost application will appeal to hobbyists and aspiring geeks, but TextWrangler’s curious feature set needs some fine-tuning before it will appeal to a broader range of users seeking powerful text-editing tools.   Like BBEdit’s, TextWrangler’s text-editing engine is first-rate, featuring a variety of built-in text-manipulation tools for editing and sorting document contents. TextWrangler supports multibyte and Unicode text, and it’s Unix-savvy: you can open and save files remotely via FTP, and you can even write to permission-protected OS X files via an authentication dialog box.   TextWrangler is a moderately powerful tool for sorting, processing, and editing text files. If you spend a lot of time looking at Unix config files or exports from a database application, or if you simply can’t afford the $179 BBEdit, TextWrangler is a good option. But for TextWrangler to build a broader audience, it will need more flexibility and some features—such as AppleScript—that it currently lacks.	PROS:  Powerful text-editing, sorting, and search-and-replace features.   CONS:  No support for styled text; no AppleScript support; no HTML-specific tools.   PRICE:  $49   OS COMPATIBILITY:  Mac OS 9, Mac OS X   COMPANY:  Bare Bones Software, 781/687-0700, www.barebones.com   RATING:
